Hi I'm looking for an amp for my AKG K701. I need recommendations

Some sort of budget would be nice to know I think.

my budget between $ 300 and $ 400

The Meyer headfive will be the cheapest one that I had experience with (around $180 used), the second one (around $200 used) probably will be the Matrix M-stage, but no personal experience here. Check those two options first...

thanks, I've read that the musical fidelity V8  also works well with akg 701, waht do you think?

This question has been asked 1000 times already.  A simple search of the forums would have yielded many results.  Many people think the Heed CanAmp is the best amp for the 701s under $1000.  It runs about $450.

ok sorry, anyone know where I can buy musical fidelity v8. i dont find

I think it may be out of production. A lot of people report good results with the matrix m-stage. There's some simple upgrades that may improve it as well. The Schiit Lyr is another that often gets mentioned... FWIR

The M-stage is actually a good recommendation.
