Hi all,
this is the first time i post here..
sorry if i'm asking the same question and sounds cliche
but i'm actually lazy to search in huge postings (please forgive me)

i have DT880 '05 edition which has been amped with Crossroad Edge amp
and i have my new MS2i coming to my door...
so my question is :

does anyone here have both cans and drive them with just one amp?
could anyone recommend me with an amp which work well (preferably best) with both of the cans?
or should i divided the budget and buy two amps to drive them?

i know it would be wise to try to drive the cans with what i'm owning now
but it's just for my future reference in case i want to have an extra amp since both cans have different characteristic

i'm thinking to buy Xcan fidelity V8, is it a good choice?
oh yeah..my budget should be around Xcan ($500)
music genres are mostly vocal, slow rock, pop and classical..occasional r n b or hip hop...

thank you all for the attention and sorry for my laziness..

Hi, welcome to HeadFi.
I did own the DT880 and the SR325 (similar to MS2) and I amped them with my X-CANv3. Especially the DT880 did very well with that amp (and Mullard tubes).
I now have the v8 and I find it a very good amp. I can definitely recommend it.
Although you might want to do some tube rolling.....

Sorry about your wallet.

X-Can V3 or the Rudistor NX-03 very good!
