The 009 is not useless without a $5K amp. Have you actually read about it from owners? It's more efficient than the O2, and needs significantly LESS amp than the O2 does, not more. The 009 should be perfectly happy on a $1500 GES or SRM-006Tii. This "needs $5K amp or it doesn't work" meme about the 009 is complete and utter nonsense.
