Despite what people say about the K7XX, they were a godly pairing with the Lyr and CTH when I owned it, moreso the Lyr, which is an amp I otherwise did not entirely like with other headphones at the time. Hybrids and high-current amps get along really well with the AKGs IMO.
Interesting to see various opinions here. Unfortunately, I recognized my inner desire to collect beautiful headphones. Tempted to have both k7xx and hd6xx on my desk (with jotun)..
As a previous owner of K702 and HD650, I mostly agree with your arguments. Particularly, timbre was somewhat inaccurate. But I borrowed K712 and am testing them now before making a judgement call, and surprisingly like a subtle improvement of K712. Interesting thing is that jotunheim was quite synergetic - almost magically!
Of course I admit I might be justifying myself THO. haha
