The Senn HD600 is the "classic" for classical. Grado house sound probably isn't right for classical.
HD600 is used by recording engineers all over and has a very neutral and natural tonality.
I have the predecessor (HD580) which is supposed to sound almost the same, and even though it's my oldest headphone, I still like it the best.
I haven't heard HD800 or any of the super expensive ones, but not everybody prefers them to the 600.
Another option that's well reviewed and has neutral tonality is Hifiman He-500.
Also consider weight and comfort---HD600 will win on this.
