Some speaker amps just have a loud background with headphones simply because as Kevin Gilmore stated...they're designed to work with speakers @8R or something, not with very sensitive headphones. That's why simply throwing power at the HE-6 is not a sure way to make 'em sing. They require an amp with enough but not too much power, a good power supply behind it and a silent background. That's why some of the Pass amps work so well.
@Justin_Time: is the M2 noisy too with the HD-800? Is it a hum at a certain frequency or just white noise hiss you're hearing?
