Hello to all of you and welcome to my thread. This is my first post, but I have done a bit of research on the internet in general, and over at AVS forum, but this seemed like the most appropriate site to get a final and definitive answer.
Situation - I own a PS3, no receiver, and a 46" Sharp television. I like to think that it offers good sound, because I can hear when people are behind me (in COD4) with just 75% accuracy. I cannot afford a good set of speakers now, so I was looking to invest in a good set of headphones. As of now, I am looking at the AKG K 701's because they are relatively cheap, and have gotten rave reviews.
Problem - Now that I've chosen the headphones I would like, I am a bit confused on how best to power and support them. Some people say amps, and at least a few said receivers. If I was going to get a receiver, it would be the Yamaha RX-V-661.
Question - In your opinion, do you think that an amp or a receiver would be better suited to my needs?
I sincerely apologize if this is in the wrong section and will gladly make a new post in the correct section so that this may be deleted without a hassle.
Edit: By the way, my budget is anywhere from 400-700 dollars. I am not sure how much I want to spend yet.
