First post! I have a pair of old Sennheiser HD 540 reference II (that bought when I owned a recording for mixing purpose). Except that the foam has deteriorated (and hence been replaced with speaker cloth..) they are working well.
Now to the question, is it worth buying a decent amp for these? If so, which one? My requirements is basically that it needs to sound good (BIG surprise right?!), no need for DAC (although that could be a bonus down the road I guess), and that it needs to be able to be used both with 220V and 110V either via a switch or at least with two different external power supplies. (moving between the continents...). Down the road, I will probably upgrade the headphones to something like Sennheiser HD650 or AKG K702 (need to research and listen first...), so the amp needs to function good with those...
