I have had the K501s for a while now, and I am noticng that they are harder to drive (with an amp) than my Beyer 250-250s and HD 580s (300 ohm). The reason for this (that was explained to me) is that even though the impedance of the 501 is 120 ohm, it has a low sensitivity rating.
I basically notice that in doing an A/B with the other cans, at the same volume, the sound is softer and thinner. If I turn up the volume, it seems to compensate.
I'm just wondering if other people notice this, and if anyone has a good portable amp reccomendation to match up well with the K501.
Cheers.
