Yes check out the wikipedia article for decibel.

yeah, the measure is decibles (sound pressure) per unit (milliwat) of power.  So the more sound you get per watt, the easier the headphones are to drive.
 
But just because  you get sound, doesn't mean these headphones are optimized at lower levels.  I mean, my LCD-2's will play with an iPod, but require more than a watt of amplifier power before they start to sound really really great.  And HE-6's require a LOT more juice to sound their best!
 
 
hope this helps!

The sr-71a is nice for this headphone cause it uses 2x 9 volt batteries so its got a pretty big voltage to work with. I'm fairly certain it can power even the top demanding headphones.

Yes thank you all for your help.  I wouldn't be actually using a portable amp for this.  I'd get a dac and amp to run this with.  But I am on the fence for the HE-500 and LCD-2.  I like the way the HE-500 has been described but I am now just reading about the LCD-2.  But I'll keep reading and when I have a noobish question I'll ask.

IMO, (or it's more a theory I guess) most people are unable to understand the above highlighted concept, even when it's well explained (as you have done).  Probably because they either have zero experience with top tier bright phones that are completely free of treble peaks OR because they have had a few bad experiences with a mid-fi bright phones (most of which have noticeable peaks)

 
Yep, I identify with that. Mid-fi phones with noticeable peaks are just a bit worse than one of those nightmares where you're trying to hide from a homicidal maniac in a dark house. They can scar you for life.

Soundwise there has been 2 changes, new earpards somewhere along the way and new drivers with the rev2. There has also been some cosmetic changes.

As far as names are concerned, there's a rev 2 and all previous changes don't have a name associated to them.
