Looking at a new pair of closed backs. I have a pair of AKG 5550s that are rotting after only a couple of years so I'm looking at hopefully better, such as the Focal Celestee. Is it really worth the extra $800 over something like the Beyerdynamic 770? I have the BD 880 which is just fine to me. The Focals look pretty nice though. No idea what I'd use to drive them at the moment.
