Hi,
 
Would any of you think the AKG Q701 would work well with the Woo Audio WA3?
 
Thanks.

Hi,
 
No it would not at all. The WA3 is OTL and works best with high impedance headphones. The Q701 would probably sound bloated on it.

You'd be surprised! I doubt anyone here has tried it. FYI I've used the Q701 straight from a receiver with a 330 ohm output impedance  and it sounds just like it does normally. Weird. I wonder why?
No bloated bass or excessive treble etc. My KRK KNS-8400...now THAT was funny. Way way too high. Strangely it sounded cave like, but yet had very little treble?!

Thanks for your response. I just read in another forum heading, that the WA3 would not work well with the q701's.

think of it as using a nuclear reactor to power a single light bulb.

Yo Travis,
 
I have tried this on my K701, K702 and Q701. Trust me, the sound was muddy and bloated coming from the WA3. The bass became flabby and the midrange became so congested and almost honky sounding.
