So I thought I would just write a little something about what I think about properly amping the LCD2 and 3.
So when I first auditioned these headphones they sounded fantastic. So organic and smooth with that base to die for but after I bought my own pair and hooked them up to my amp (a speaker amp) I kept trying to figure out why everything sounded a bit off. Just a couple days ago I finally finished building my Bottlehead SEX with C4S and Impedence Switch upgrade and plugged in my headphones and all I could do is gape in awe of how good everything sounded. Lesson learned: PROPERLY AMP YOUR HEADPHONES. When Audeze says they need at least 1W at 50ohms they mean it. My SEX puts out 2W and finally the LCD2's can sing like they where meant to.
On another note to anyone who needs a recommendation for an amp and is willing to build one, the Bottlehead SEX is the best amp I have heard with these headphones to date. Minus the EC Ballancing Act but that is effectively 6 time the price.
