Well, then accurate reproduction is the primary goal. But why do you
feel closed-back design is in conflict with accurate reproduction?

Buy the Stax, then.

Closed-back systems necessarily have a low frequency response which is
dependant on the volume of the chamber behind the diaphragm AND the volume
of the chamber in front of it, namely your ear canal. So there are a lot
more listener-to-listener variations with a closed-ear system on the low
end.
