I really do believe the HD-650 is very picky about which amplifier is driving it.
I am more than happy with the combination of 650 and Graham Slee Solo that I've been running for the past few years.
The 650's...
Thanks all!
I've just ordered a pair... Hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow.
I'm now re-aquainting myself with my 5's so I can compare them to the 10's :) :)
A bit of paint missing from the grilles and headband, I could understand (the paint finish is not very durable on 650's). Heck, even a broken headband too (I've heard of this before).
But to be in that condition means...
Paired with the "right" amplifier, the HD-650 is everything BUT boring!
They are smooth and I can listen to them for hours and hours without tiring, but the music still feels alive. There's enough sparkle to the highs...
