I stumbled upon this old thread after recently getting a pair of Grado SR 80 headphones. I really like their tonal balance, and I'm guessing that's what the original poster was talking about (rather than spatial presentation).
I must say, though, that my impression of the Grados is the exact opposite of James63's. I find them rich and warm (though not syrupy or bloated), rather than "bright and forward," as James stated (perhaps we're listening to different models).
Anyway, I really wouldn't mind finding speakers that mirror the tonal balance of the SR 80's, so I thought I'd reopen the discussion. Any ideas? THANKS.
