are your hd580 modded? the hd580 i know best are bill's pair and they measure pretty flat. so then you can tilt it one way or another depending on taste (e.g., vali 2 for warmer vs. mcth for leaner)
@brencho They’re not currently modded but I’ve been in touch with Bill about modding them when he has the time. When you say the MCTH is leaner do you mean it sounds thin?
I can confidently say that you can’t go wrong with a Vali 2 OR Magni 3 IMO. I haven’t heard MCTH. I was impressed with Magni 3 way moreso than I thought I would be and I could be happy with it but ultimately I would choose the Vali 2 between them because I prefer it’s character and space. I like warm and laid back. I’m running mine with an Ultron PCC88 currently.
I think with a stock or only “half” bill-p mod, which only deals with the front of the driver and taking the foam behind the driver out, the Vali 2 would be a good choice. A fully modded 580 is more dampened and sounded similar to an HD650
