My silly comment was directed at Fang. No one should need monster speaker amps for a headphone. That's just a design gone terribly wrong. Does Fang even include the speaker taps by default?

I typically value your posts, but this post is incredibly rude and disrespectful. The man's entitled to his opinion, even if his opinion doesn't coincide with yours or mine.
I beg the differ sir. I didn't use any disrespectful or rude words. I was under the impression that I was being called silly. I know now I wasn't and I apologized.
So how did this LCD2/3 amp thread come down to a flame war for some other headphones?
I have heard good things about the HE6 too but after getting the SR009 and LCD3 I don't think I would get it - would like to try it on my McIntosh amp (600W per channel) though, especially now that I have installed vintage Gold Lion B759 12AX7s on my preamp (McIntosh C2300).
Pinnacle while a great amp does not have the power to do justice to the HE6's so the comparison, like many HE6 comparisons, are useless.
Not certain I am reading the specs correctly so I could be wrong but it seems the Pinnacle has ~1.7wpc into ~50 ohms.
Put the HE6 and the HE500 on one of the HIGH power headphone amps and then make the comparison.
In almost every instance, no one agrees that a headphone amp can do to the HE-6 what a speaker amp does. Not 1-2 watt @ 50 ohms but something a bit more robust. It's the mid fi and above amps that really show promise. Many have accepted their headphone amps for financial reasoning and have not shared what others have who have the resources or amps to try. The LCD does not need that kind of power.
But then this is not a HE thread and I injected them into this as a bit of an alternative for a sweet spot based on budget.
With the current exchange rate between the Euro and our Pacific Peso, that Talisman stack is a whole lot more affordable than it has ever been. The killer would be freight and Customs Duty.
