I would be very grateful for advice. I have the opportunity to purchase the KSE1200 blind for a very good price. I only listen to classical music, mostly orchestral, and have so far done so with the IE800 and IE800s. I have tried the IE900 but returned them, the sound felt rather congested on orchestral pieces and did not really impress me (using a Topping DX7 Pro and an iBasso DX220, with AMP4s, both balanced). Besides I felt the IE900 to be much warmer and less airy than either IE800 model.
I am therefore looking for a clear improvement over what I have, mainly through more neutral, better imaging, and better transparency. I read that the soundstage is not KSE1200's forte, so I assume it will be smaller than the IE800 models, but would it be satisfying for classical, given the level of detail and resolution it is capable of putting out?
Also, with regards to the current models more or less at KSE's second-hand pricing (say 1000-1500 USD, or slightly higher), which ones could go toe to toe with it for my intended use, or is KSE1200 really the go-model for that kind of music?
Many thanks for any advice in this regard!
