500+ Head-Fier
I've used the LS to drive HD600's and HD6XX's with no problem. It seems that the HD600 and HD650 have been around forever,Interesting that he's not a Sennheiser fan. Sounds like it has just enough power to drive them I guess. Do headphone amps start clipping near the top of their volume control (generally speaking)?
and that can leave people jaded towards them.
I have noticed on several occasions though, that some headphone enthusiasts who at some point sold either an HD600 or HD650, eventually purchased one again. I know that while they are not quite as aggressive sounding as some of my planar magnetics are, they do what they do quite well. Specifically, their clean midrange. Of course, matching the right headphone to the right headphone amplifier is all about synergy. FWIW, I have personally found that the HD600 and HD6XX scale extremely well with tube headphones amplifiers. And in particular, OTL headphone amplifiers.
