Advice on an Amp for ATH-AD700's?

[BrinNutz]

First post here, been lurking for awhile...I was thinking of getting a new amp to power these Audio Technica ATH-AD700 open cans. I have not yet heard them as I just ordered them today. I've been browsing review's here and searching around here as well but am not finding much info.

I won't really need it for portability as I don't travel too awfully much! Thanks!

The cheaper the better (well, not always true).

I guess I'm looking for the most bang for your buck type of amp.

Kudos!

They're pretty efficient/sensitive headphones

But if you want a good, inexpensive home amp see if you can find an Original Master.

I can verify that they mate well with the AD700s very quiet background and good smooth sound. In fact I sold them together and the buyer was very pleased.

Why thank you very much, I will take a gander if I can find a place that sells them!

Where can I get one of said Original Master headphone amps? I've been looking all over and no search results in anything..Nothing for sale here and no information on the web at all.

How would the Meier Corda Headsix mate?

I saw that before I posted and have been reading about it...

u dont necesarilly need an amp but to drive those headphones but the sound greatly improves with one so if u dont have the cash at hand u can live without. YOU can find great cmoy amps on EBAY preferably from these sellers who make quality amps..then again these are portable amps depends on your taste
