I agree with this. You should consider upgrading your amp. IMO the only stax that the HD800 does not equal or beat is the sr-007 and possibly the 4070 (I haven't heard the 404LE tho). But I suspect you will find the sr-007 too dark and possibly the bass too heavy. A better amp (maybe balanced) can tame the highs and bring out bass of the HD800s.
