Are there any headphone users out there? I might have a need to replace
my Tannoys with headphones part time... thinking about something closed
back, and dynamic.

I'll probably power them from my SE 2A3 amplifier, for no other reason
than it's not doing anything else - this means I'll need to upgrade the
power supply, to supress noise.

Can anyone suggest an appropriate model? I want them to be punchy, but
not obnoxious. Sennheisers are too laid back for me, I have a pair of
HD570 which are great on classical, but not much else. I suspect
electrostatics would be similar, and anyway, too expensive. Something
like the cheap phones they have for trying before you buy at Best Buy
would be the other extreme - boosted bass, not too accurate, etc. I want
the headphone equivalent of quality paper cone full range speakers, if
it exists.

I have no problem buying used, and eBay is an option.
Beyers are in the same league as Sennheisers.
