Do you think that would translate as lower prices for consumer (R&D part I mean)?

It would be nice to see a big company with a hugh RD department come out with a Planar Megnitc headphone. It seems like they're sticking with Dynamic drivers.

The price is exactly why it caught my eye. I assume that still carries the Brystion quality and the lower price is due to relatively low wattage (60 wpc). For HE-6 it should just fine, I think.
Hello,
I have commanded a HE adapter for my HE6, I will use a Naim XS amp, hope this combo work great.
If he is talking about the impedance load box, no, he doesn't need it and you're right, it will deaden the performance of the 6s.Hmm...i tried this set-up before. No can do to these ears. Despite the fact that the Naim XS has 60W of high current power, it was still insufficient when used with the adaptor. I suspect the resistor restricted power leaving most of it being converted to heat. If you have the pigtail adaptor, try it i.e. link the HE6 DIRECTLY to the speaker taps without the HE adaptor. Just be careful with the volume control. Should sound better.

Wanted to share a nice discovery for HE-6. Don't think I've seen this amp mentioned anywhere here: Audio Zone Amp-1. 45W into 8 ohms, peak power up to 100W:

It's a gain clone. Fully dual mono. Provides high, steady current. Dual stepped attenuators are top notch and quite handy for balance control.
The thing takes care of any and all brightness and really gives the HE-6 a full, deep sound.
Best paired with a tube dac but still killer with my Eximus (which is warm to begin with).
Best I've heard my HE-6s sound.
Looking at the website I think I'd like to try the cheaper AMP-D1 Stereo, 100 Watts into 8 Ohms, I'd run this out of my Soloist and use the Soloist as preamp.
