Anyone know of or found an amp that marries well with them? I love their warm, full big bass sound but I am interested in improving the general SQ and purchasing an amp in a few weeks, NO idea what will go well with them, though. Suggestions welcome :)

Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

This for portable use or ZO and if portability isn't an issue then get Cmoy but I don't thing they will benefit 2 much from the amp. Any owners that can confirm this?

You want something powerful to get that deep rich bass while keeping everything crystal clear.
I'm not sure what your budget is or if you are looking for a Tube or Solid-State amp, but for the XB700s the Little-Dot I+ will do the trick.

This is what I use most of the time with my XB700s. At 24ohms it is putting almost a full watt into these headphones, and they need it.
