Out of the blue randomly yesterday my favorite uncle bought me 701s as an early graduation present, which I'm obv ecstatic about. However...I'm a current owner of sr80s, px100s, and the esw9 - aka things that work fine unamped.
I know that this subject has been beaten to death on the forums with the general consensus being "don't get K701s unless you're willing to follow up with a good amp", but I don't want to disrespect such an awesome gift or my uncle. I'm a student on a shoestring budget (every cent I earn in the next several years will be going towards paying student loans and basic living expenses) and probably the most I can put budget for an amp is $50. Pitiful pitiful pitiful. But I figure that as a non-amp owner anything is an upgrade...right?
Was looking at some used studio amps on ebay, and it seems like the alternative is something like a cmoy, which I doubt has enough power. Any other suggestions?
