I'm looking into buying closed headphones, and have decided on the thunderpants. However, I was wondering if they could be driven by either the Peachtree decco2, Nova, or iNova? I am getting one of these for my regular small desktop setup and thought it might be nice if i could spare having to buy an amp. However, if these won't drive it, how well would the M-Stage work? I have read they are a good match.

The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...

Yes. That is, if the manufacturer specs can be trusted. They're all rated for the same power output at all loads, but only the iNova claims <1 ohm output impedance (the rest claim <30 ohms). Seems sort of convenient that the iNova has just the right amount of maximum current to match the others' output impedance. But whatever, yeah, they're powerful enough.

So would you say I should upgrade to the iNova?

The iNova is better, but it's whatever you like and your pockets can afford.
