A few years ago, I went through times too, I couldn't afford a very good system. So I went with a HP set up and used it for over a year or so and found it very satisfying! But for the real viseral attack of a pair of speakers I found the HPs to sound fantastic and unless I was comparing A to B, I never felt I was missing out on anything...
I had a pair of Senns 500s, a tube Ear Max amp, Cardas HP cables and, over the years, various CDPs..
I have to say that with headphones I learned more then I ever did about critical listening and understanding the "sound", HPs are intimate and offer a great learn vehicle.
Go for it and when you are in a position to get a main rig again, you will.
Enjoy, JOHN
