Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the 5LE supposed to be the darker Hifiman ortho and the He5 is actually the very bright one. How does the brightness of the 5LE compared to your 880.
Also how did the nfb 12 amp section handles the Hifiman ortho, compared to your EF5 (IIRC you have one =p) or compared to some speaker amps. I've heard that the old gen Hifiman orthos (he5, 5le, 6) are quite power-hungry.

In case anyone cares - the weaknesses of the HP out with the Hd650's turned out to be strengths with the 5LE's. NFB-12 helps calm the highs, fill out the mids, and add heft to the bottom.
Even more pleased with the NFB-12 now!
