Couldn't be happier..

HE-6 use to fit my just head fine. I know some who left it was too clampy/small. If you're doing a review, remember that there are those for whom the HE-6 fit just fine. Also, the ergonomics/weight distribution is so much better than the other planar brand.
Sound wise I'm using a Beta22, WA6, Burson 160D and Objective2
Objection, Objection your Honor!!!!!!!!
No HE-6 should be reviewed on said headphone amps.. Also it really depends on how your B22 is configured. All B22 are not the same (DIY).
The Objective 2 headphone amp??
Why don't you just ask Mark at HighEndWorkShop to hook you up with a speaker amp for the review?
This is outrageous
Haha, I don't think he has any speaker amplifiers or other available, otherwise he may have hooked me up, surely the Beta22 is enough, if you need a Dark Star to do this thing justice maybe it deserves a poor review. I'd love to try a speaker amplifier, I have a few laying around and my uncle has some from his peak, but I don't trust them with a review unit without the HiFiMAN adapter, if it was a personal pair the amps would already be on my desk!

poor review for something that can sound so good? Are we reviewing an amp+headphone or a headphone? I mean, I had to buy a proper amp for my HD800, and while I think it is a pain to have to buy a diff amp for these cans, all that matters is how good they can sound, when driven properly.
But you see it's not about being a subtle difference. It's the poor characteristics that you get from these headphones with something like the Objective 2 and the Burson 160D. The things you already pointed out. Bass-light.. No way the HE-6 is bass light. They can go toe to toe with the best and out play most when it comes to anything bass related. Imaging.... As you go up in quality power, these will image with the best of them. They love CURRENT.. The amps you're using can't give it to them.
Carry on with your review
I'm just saying..
They're definitely not bass-light when compared to most other headphones, I was just comparing them to the LCD-2s or other orthodynamics that I'm used to, the HE-6s are much more treble present (even a little harsh at times?) when compared to my usual planar magnetic. I was told the Beta22 I'm using is 3-channel epsilon22, I was also under the impression the Beta22 would power them atleast near their full potential, going by some other reviews and threads regarding the HE-6s, but this might be out of date information.
