Yeah, my main system is where I want it to be in terms of sound quality now (I really do think I'm done with upgrading it finally) and I'd like to have a second set-up for the kitchen /dining area so if I still feel like listening to speakers late at night without bothering anyone, I can do so there. I listened tosome sennheiser 650's yesterday and they actually sounded pretty darn good. When I got home and played my main stereo, I realized that the 650's lack bass but the detail was definately there withthe 650's. It still disappoints that there isn't a soundstage in front of you though, and that the sound is just more centered in your head, but other than that, I really liked the 650's; very comfortable, light, and they really did sound great. Def. the highest quality sound I've heard from some headphones.
Totem rain makers with wadia 151?
So I've kind of been all over the place lately with my audio gear obsession lately but this is what I'm starting to think: I'm thinking that I need a second system that isn't going to have alot of bass so that I can listen to it without bothering people around me and I need a good headphone set-up.
I really like the idea of a wadia 151 with a 170i dock; clean and simple. There is a 151 and some totem rainmakers for sale locally that I might be able to pick up for $1300 and I can get another 170i for $175. I like the idea of trying some totems and the rainmakers are the size I'm looking for because I don't want large amounts of bass because it seems that bass is whats going to travel through walls and that's going to bother people around me late at night.
I also want a good headphone rig and, today, I'm thinking maybe some hifiman he-500 with a hifiman ef5 tube amp.
What do you guys think? My main question is how is a wadia 151 going to pair with the totem rainmakers?
Btw, fwiw, my main rig is finally keeping me satisfied (a first, in the past 9 months since I've started this madness) and that's part of the reason why I want to be able to branch out a bit and be able to enjoy my music on a few other different levels.
