thank you very much for the advice. But I didn't understand one thing, why don't you recommend used?K702 is fine for the price and if you wish soundstage with a deacent everything else. They are not great nor sounding particularly good out of the box, you need to slope it down a bit which will work to the good very loud program (let's say 96 dB), drivers aren't particularly low distortion so forget about mind blowing listening levels or busting bass a lot even on loud to very loud one. Three is a consistency control issue (like with most AKG's) or a quality issue if you wish. Rod's failing of is easy to fix after all. At the end fit is what matters the most and only old cups (stock regular foam one's) are good if you want to retain those spectral qualities. And for that reason I wouldn't recommend used one's if its not really a bargaining price and if you can purchase new stock pads for reasonable price to replace them, same goes for refabrish if the pads are renewed then its OK.
With a little luck (and bit of knowledge) good old combo of AKG K702 and SBX G6 are all you need for the purpose (and on the budget).
