It's definitely not a question of having enough power, whether that be voltage or current -- at least as far as the COPs go. My guess is just that they cannot handle a lot of power. I haven't made them clip using a weak/unamped source, only with an amp. But they just can't go to high volumes either as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully my replacement pair fares better but I think you made the right decision. There's a lot of praise out there for these cans, but not a lot of investigation into shortcomings, at least from what I've read. They are very fun though.
Good luck on your quest for loudness.
