I don't have that particular model, but I have the 7506 and the V600, close relatives. And because I'm a trained engineer, I know that it's scientifically likely that the V6's are going to sound exactly the same as anything else made by Sony. So even though I don't own them, and have never used them, you should value my esteemed advice far more than some "working" sound engineer who's offered up his "untrained" opinion. I'm an engineer! I don't think the 580 is available anymore, but if it is, it's a bargain. The subsequent models are, unfortunately, not as cheap. You may run up against a price wall in your quest. You wouldn't have such a problem if you had a rich daddy like me who buys any kind of crap I tell him to buy. He's old, and you can really push these old people around.
