i may have to ask about that im sure @BunnyNamedCraig will be camped out at my house while i have them
Just make sure you have a 75wpc+ amp ready

Something to take into account is that the amp you get for the SRH1A can probably pull double duty as a speaker amp, but if you get a high-end electrostat amp you
Thanks again. The Lambdas that I have are relatively easy to drive with my STAX SRM-D10 and SRM-353X. So was planning to invest on a high-end AMP leaning towards Kgsshv Cardon with SR-009s, but I think that won't work with SRH1As. Any recommendations for AMP under 5K (for both). Appreciate your help
Pretty much... I was really impressed with the Raals.i may have to ask about that im sure @BunnyNamedCraig will be camped out at my house while i have them
I would def listen to them before you pull the trigger on another stax. These are pretty damn special.True that, upgrading to SR-009 may yield improvements in treble and bass departments in comparison with SR-L700. STAX is a money pit, but love the STAX house sound
I agree will demo the Raal (not sure if there are any stores in India), might end up shelving my plans on getting the SR-009 and pull the trigger on Raal.

And like other dude said- I guess making sure you have proper power is the smartest decision. Sad that the cans desire so much juice but it is what it is
I'm sold gonna try Raal SRH1A out first and take a decision on SR-009 and KGSSHV bunble.I would def listen to them before you pull the trigger on another stax. These are pretty damn special.

And surely, will also look for a powerful speaker AMPs as recommended.
This helps, thank you so much. Each day I learn new things, Head-Fi is such a great platform (I learnt a lot here and continue to do so).just a footnote, if you arent aware, you can get what is called a power amp, which has no control or input selection, they usually get you more power for the same price as an integrated amplifier, you have to use the volume control on the source to control the output though
lol im gonna be kicking myself if my amp will drive these things......

My guess is that you're probably fine - I have noticed that these aren't as sensitive to amp pairings as other headphones. They don't seem to underperform on cheaper amps to the extent that high end planars often do, but scale with better speaker amps accordingly.
That's assuming that your DAC has good output voltage control. Some DACs have a purely resistive output level control and sound quality degrades when you're not using it at full voltage. Integrateds are more "future-proof" since they won't limit your choice of DACs down the road.
If you're blowing $5k US on a system, I would either go with a dedicated preamp or take the hit in output power and run an integrated unit. In my case, my Nagra INT was only slightly more expensive than the stand-alone Nagra AMP, and the only functionality that's missing on the INT is the ability to run the amps in dual mono to reach 200wpc. That and a headphone jack on the Nagra PRE that isn't very good anyways.
Got it, will need to hunt for a good DAC may be need to build the system step by step. Just checked Nagra Classic INT used costs around $10k (out of my budget lol)My guess is that you're probably fine - I have noticed that these aren't as sensitive to amp pairings as other headphones.
