What ho, Dan.
ATs, eh.
I did have a pair of ATH-M50 and found them rather bass heavy and lacking transparency (probably cos of the bass).
Not tried anything of their's more upmarket though.
I shall have a look.

I've had quite a few Staxes, Paul.
Usually (but with vintage ones, not always) transparent and detailed. The lower in the range can sound surprisingly warm and murky.
None that I have heard (quite a few) really do bass in a well balanced way, imo.
But defo worth a listen.
Curate's egg - good (can be superb) in parts.

I got the ATH-D2000x's (think it's a 'W' for the closed), open back but give a sound that is relevant to their closed back equivalents. The better AT's have a great balance with a tone that excites but never cross the line. Welcome to borrow mine to get a kinda idea of what u may get from spending more pennies up the line AT wise

Maybe see how the mrs gets on with AT open backs.
Previous very nice Grados were a nono - I think they sounded louder in the room than to the wearer!
PM on its way.

The fostex are rather smooth in the high regions, I would've put them on a par, though I haven't heard the oppos. At first I didn't like them but gave them a few days then missed them every time I went to my others.
