1000+ Head-Fier
HD 800 is certainly not recommended for professional use, it's not neutral enough for that. Can't speak for HE-6 or LCD-X but SR-007 is fantastic if it's driven well.
Agree! The SPL amps are very transparent no amp coloration added to the sound.
Well that's one way to spin it.
So almost every other amp is bright then? I find the HD800s dull with their amps.
I like the 800 with tubes too. But it's almost a philosophical issue, if I really have a problem with the sound signature of a headphone then I'd rather pick a different set of cans over trying to rectify it with a coloured amp.
...an LCD-2 instead, much more natural sound.
If your sound preference includes having two subwoofers attached to your ears.
as long as you're not interested in listening to music, the HD800 are fine.
