open headphones AND speakers = Wow

I'm sure this is committing audiophile debauchery of some sort... but have you ever tried listening to your headphones and your speakers at the same time? I forgot to turn my bedroom amp off, so I was listening to my Senn 650 and my VS VR1 simultaneously. The sound is awesome! You get all the detail and the resolution from the headphones, but also get the body and "soundstage" from the speakers. Give it a try sometime, if you dare...

I'll also admit to heresy.

I've listened to many a CD with both the speakers and my STAX Lambda Pro headphones.  Interesting, especially organ music with lots of bass and large-scale  choral works.  

Like uberwaltz, I also use them late at night, as one of my next-door neighbors must have "bat-ears," so I turn down the sound after 10 :00 pm and grab the cans.
