Yeah, that's a decent combo that doesn't have a accentuated bite in the treble or a bloated bass, but they went up to 185 due to the declining dollar. The Headsix was also very good with my shallow cup Darth Beyer.

But, as the ALO 780 reach 200 hours, the need to be picky about amps and source declines.
