Hi Tom,
Perhaps you can elaborate on how you are not satisfied with the sound (too warm, too thin, rolled off, etc.)?
Are you looking for a sound that matches your current SET/high-eff system (which must be warm and smooth) or that complements it (i.e. by giving you a bit more of an edge)?
I like warm and smooth, so after quite a bit of experimentation, I found headphone nirvana with a Sennheiser HD580 (Jubilee model) and a Bottlehead S.E.X. (Single Ended Experimenter). I also use the SET with a pair of AKG K1000s, but I far prefer the warmer and more forgiving Sennheisers on most recordings.

PS I am in MtView (Googleville) too. Perhaps we can organize a get-together one of these days.
