Wondering which are the best for classical music, especially symphonies, concerti, and solo piano. I have been considering Sennheiser HD800 and Fostex TH900, in addition to Grado 1000i.I will be using them with Bryston BHA-1 amp and Marantz SA7 player, with balanced connectors.
Comfort is also very important, and closed vs. open does not enter into the equation.
I have no way to audition these, so need to rely on those who have used them.
