I was just at a meet this past weekend in Seattle and a Head-fier whose name I never got showed up with a pristine pair of ATH-706 cans and amplifier, in its original box and with "just printed yesterday" quality user brochures.  But I simply couldn't bring myself to listen to them because I knew the small pads, barely covering one's ear, were going to leak alot of the headphone sound and ruin the ambience in the room, as I tend to play pretty loudly compared to the rest of ya'lls.  If I get a chance to be alone in a room with them...I'll write back. 
 
BTW, how much do they go for?  I saw very few posts about them on Head-fi, with a pristine pair going up for sale back in 2009 (which I think may be the one I saw).  

I bought a pair of ATH-7s from a neighbor (who got them at a garage sale) for $25.  Found them to be very power hungy with solid state amps.  Sounded pretty good, but bass-light.

Movers delivered our worldly belongings to our new house on Monday... this evening I'm enjoying some good music on vintage kit in my new home, for the first time in weeks.
 
Although I'm not permitting myself to assemble the listening chair until I've got enough of the rest of the house unboxed and put away, I feel like I can finally relax a little.
 
Ahh.

Anyone have a pair of Mach One speakers?

So, my Pioneer SX-1050 arrived today! Despite the outer box being in rough condition, the receiver looks and sounds great! It drives both my LCD-2 and T1s effortlessly from the headphone jack, and while I wouldn't call it effortless with the HE-6, it nevertheless makes them sound better than either my Lyr or WA2.
 
One thing I didn't consider is exactly how big this puppy is! I've seen them before, but you have to have them in your own place with your own stuff to truly appreciate their massiveness... and lo and behold, it doesn't fit in my Solidsteel rack! I don't love having my P3-24 on top, but I don't have any other choice right now!

I know, personally i like the heavy-ness factor of my 1250, which is 69 pounds. Now im looking for a TOTL receiver to top that

Did it include the electret amplifier or just the headphones?

"Bass-light" is somewhat synonymous with "ATH" for that matter...haven't heard much of a change in bass-presence between closed and open backed ATH cans regardless of amp changes, though I do love their midrange, which changes from being more recessed or upfront depending on the amp.  
 
If you do have a pair of ATH-7s with the amplifier, could you post a pic of them, for the good of the fellowship?

They did come with the amplifier (just a transformer I think).  Pics are in this thread  http://www.head-fi.org/t/526475/audio-technica-at-705-electret-condenser-headphone

Nice, OOS!  Yeah, the size of these bad boys can be a surprise...neither of my big Pioneers fit "in" any of my racks either - only "on", as in on top
