Quote: Reminds me of a certain Hifiman headphone. I don't need a Krell monoblock to tell that that thing has way too much treble energy.
Quote: I don't think that's the only time the HE6 is harsh. You could just have a brightish source or inherently bright amp. Also, the HE6 is a little north of neutral as is.
Quote: I've heard HE-6 with harsh treble when "properly" mega-amp powered. HE-6 needs the right amp or the right synergistic combination. At least that's my excuse for it.
Quote: Sorry but mega does not = quality. I've heard the HE-6 on more than a few high quality amps and have not experienced the harshness at all.
Gosh, sorry to interrupt the discussion of the HE-6 on this LCD3 thread......... . Got to take a pic before its wrapped. Hearing candy for XMAS soon! Gonna listen to Carly Simon's "Anticipation" with my junk FT!334s (LOL NOT!)
