Eh. You can still hear their treble exaggeration in acoustic guitar even, adding too much treble information like the HD800 and creating fake detail. And any kind of cymbal or percussion at all is way exaggerated. Disappointing.
But "good for classical?" To my mind classical (orchestral) is absolutely the most demanding music with biggest possible frequency range and biggest dynamic range.
Huh I see classical as being mostly midrange. Especially compared to rock with deep bass guitar and cymbals and vocals and everything in between. That’s why so many crazy treble peaked headphones sound good with classical.
@purr1n loved the GS1000 for classical despite its HUGE treble peaks because of its enormous soundstage and flat midrange, where classical lives. Treble and bass are just overtones or whatever in classical.
Oh, Rythmdevils! Have you been listening to "Strings for a Wet Tuesday Afternoon" and thinking that's classical? ;)
An orchestra covers the lot. Double-bass to picolo. The core of it might be mid-range violin, but there is so much more, both ends. Even in the string section alone!
An an ex-Mahlerian (it's been a *long* time), definitely try Bernstein's recording of the 6th with Vienna on DG. And perhaps Horenstein's 3d with the LSO on the Unicorn label.
There are many good—and very different—recordings of the 2d. If have to pick only one, I'll go with Kubelik's recording with Bavarian Radio on DG. The 5th also stands out. You can't go wrong with Solti's earlier recording with Chicago (the AAD one from 1970) on the London label. Thanks @Thad E Ginathom for recommending Mahler in this context. You're quite right.
