RE: HD800s

Can't say I've ever found the 800s bass-heavy; if anything a little lean in the upper and mid-bass, not too different from the 701s, but they seem to go much deeper. Yes, possibly a tad bright, but just a little, and just with some amps. Driven by a Bottlehead Crack amp with a Corda Crossfeed circuit, I can happily have them on for hours.

The last so-called flagship cans I had were Koss ESP-9s back in the 70's. They *were* a touch better, with mids that rivaled the original Quads, better high-end extension, and stunningly good bass. But they were about as comfortable as a couple bricks clamped to your head.
