I see all these posts about folks plugging into vintage receivers or speaker amps, as well as headphone amps with ludicrous amounts of power and though cans with high impedance or orthos rejoice in this, is there a general limit? Not just for these power hungry headphones but for more basic dynamic cans and iems as well?
I'm looking into both vintage amps and a modern amp rated at 1000mw output. Though I'm sure my mad dog 3.2s (and one day HE 6 or 400) will be fine, I'm worried about my V Moda m-80 and everyone elses headphones.
At what point do you actually start to blow out the drivers electrically? I'm also curious how amps are measured since volume pots vary output.
