Sennheiser HD660S2 or HD800s for bigger soundstage?

I know, I know, bit of a price difference. I've got the Sennheiser HD660S and really like them but I'd like a bigger soundstage for these massive orchestral pieces of Mahler and Stravinsky (loads of noise! needs depth and separation etc). Am playing off my MacBook pro M1. So I got as far as the HD660S2 and the very expensive 800s....
Any thoughts?
(as a small female with narrow head am a little concerned the 800s will fall off my head? The 660S are tight - good).

Hi, my Kef LSX II are wired to each other and into my MacBook pro, I use Apple music. The speakers don't seem to be able to handle low bass - it starts cracking and there is regular stuttering. When in wifi mode, it's the same. I disconnected them from each other and turned of that mode in the app - still the same.
It really ruins listening to music.... Any ideas?? Thanks!
(PS: I play classical music only)

EDIT: I’ve tried everything, remived the extension cords, removed all potential interference and no joy. Played them
In my kitchen and cracking and ticking was gone. Back in my study, living room- cracking and ticking at low bass. I’ve tried a Tacima mains conditioner and still cracks. I don’t know what else to try.
ai suggested an IfI DC blocker- anyone know about those? Or a subwoofer…
