Like I said above, with the ALO mods they become less picky about amp after 200 hours of burn-in.

They sound great with my HR Micro Stack, which is known to be warm with strong bass too. They also do great with the RSA Predator which has weighty bass, and I am even able to enjoy them with my Pico and D2 which have more highs that could be fatiguing on a stock 780. They also sound great with my 125 hour Woo WA6, my 800 hour Dark Voice 336i, my Meier HeadFive and HA-1, my Apogee mini-DAC, and every other amp I have now
