Bob, I think the reasons really high quality, uncolored and accurate headphones won't show up in Best Buy are that (1) Grado probably can't produce the quantity that Best Buy requires and (2) IMHO, most "stereo stuff" nowadays is voiced for hip-hop, rap, modern country and western and other sorts of musical mediocrity that clogs our airwaves and plays annoyingly over background music systems. There are exceptions in each category, but for the most part ... well, overall could be better.
The average new generation of listeners tragically have never experienced, except accidentally, casually or obligatorily, real professionally performed acoustical (non amplified and acoustically manipulated) events. I doubt 1 in 10 people have heard and/or enjoyed a live string quartet or symphony orchestra.
And, the typical fidelity of pop culture consumer audio gear has bypassed accuracy, and substituted punchy visceral impact, sizzling highs and penetrating mids . That is, high fidelity "effects".
How many of our younger generation have heard a pair of Bozak Concert Grands or Klipschorns at full throttle? Very few, I'll bet. It is a shame.
My usual two penny rant ...
Sorry if I have offended some about their music ... as stated, there are some really good and creative examples that are exceptions to the mediocrity.
