Which Stax headphones- best bang for the buck



I would like to replace my Koss ESP 950 headphones with Stax headphones. Naturally, I would like to make a step up. Which Stax headphones (and amplifier) offer the best sound for the money and why? Thanks in advance.

I am a former owner of a pair of Stax headphones, and agree they make fine products. I recently switched from my Stax SR-80's to the Sennheiser HD600, and think they are a substantial improvement over the Stax. Infact, I said in a post earlier this week that I think the HD600's are the best headphones I've heard, other than the Stax Lambdas which were a lot more expensive. I urge you to give the HD600's a good audition before you make a purchase -- they can be purchased new from AudioAdvisor right now for $300, and are often available on Audiogon for around $225. Just a suggestion...
