I loved the HE6SE on a THX788 w/ the oratory EQ. But yeah I killed my HE6SE by not checking the gain setting on the speaker amp I wanted to test on because Im a dummy. The HE6SE measurements say there should be no difference other than volume, but I wanted to try and hear the "magic" people talk about just once lol.
Whoah, are you saying you literally slayed the drivers on your HE6SE on a speaker amp accidentally cuz the gain was too high? :O That's a bummer if so!
I added a big bass shelf on my equalizer and ran the volume super high with the m1570s to see if I could get them to distort and still wasnt able to. The THX 788 is no slouch on single ended power, but I imagine that story would change on a stronger amp.
That's promising. I do expect a lot for $599 if it's "Monoprice $599", so to speak, though. But I'm very hopeful for these to be awesome.
