The looks of the WA6 is what first "wooed" me over :-). After reading reviews about how well the WA6 did with low impedance cans, the choice was downhill from there.

Dan Got my DT770-250's. Not sure I'm fully sold yet. See my post. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/not-sure-if-dt770-250s-fit-bill-401501/Wonder if that's why you were waiting for my listening feedback. BTW, I blame you for making me spend hours everyday on head fi...

If you're looking to get a similar sound as Axioms I think you should be looking in the direction of Grado. Out of all the sets I have tried the ones I thought were closest to the Axiom sound was the Grados.

Thanks Rick.
What else along w/ Grado? Denon D2000 maybe?
Which Grado would you recommend < $250? I'm OK w/ used BTW. Maybe MS1 or 2? 225 or 325? I didn't spend much time looking at the Grados, perhaps I should now.

The only ones I am familiar with is the iGrado, SR60 and the SR325i's. My personnel favorite is the 325i's. They seem to have all the right amounts of lows, mids and highs to suit my tastes.The RS225s get quite a lot of praise as a good bang for the buck on Headfi. If I were you I would try and find a shop and go take a listen to them. Even the SR 60 are a very good set for the money. Looking through the Headphones for sale on Headfi is a good way to get pretty good deals on some well kept sets. I acquired quite a few like this to see if they were to my liking and eventually sold them for the same amount. You could also take a look at Alessandro as they too get real good reviews.

MS2's are magnificent. I have those and got them used for a bit over $200. Friend of mine just got the Denon AH2000's

Dan,
Would you say the sound sig of the MS2 are fairly close to that of the Axioms. In my experience the Grado sound is most like that of the Axioms out of all I have tried.

I would say so. They are forward and very transparent.

I agree. Plus they are very easy to drive.

Yeah, I'm wondering if the drive is the element I'm weak on.
I've burned the cans a little more and the bass seems to be coming out and tightening a bit, but it could be psychological.
There's a pair of MS2i's on headfi that are re-cabled. Is that a fair price?
