Well good luck with that. I hope you enjoy using them!
FWIR: lower fidelity, different sound signature.
well, ive heard of people getting the detachable cords for their hd600's how does this work since the hd600 doesnt come stock with detachable cords do they? but yeah i found the hd600 for 250 with free shipping and the lowest i saw the hd650's for was 330 shipped on ebay and 450 shipped on amazon. i dont trust ebay for this kind of stuff so 450 is the price i was looking at. 250 sounds like a great deal, but i hate that paint splattered headband. wasn't this popular in the 80's? i think it looks dumb.
just curious, would this amp be good enough or would i need a 200-300 price range amp

I would stick with your ATH-AD700's because they sound really good as they are, even without an Amplifier. The top-end Sennheiser headphones need an Amplifier to power them, otherwise they don't sound as detailed as you would expect.
The thing is, the high-end Sennheiser headphones have the potential to sound amazing, just like a set of $400 headphones are supposed to sound, but they need to be paired with a really good Amplifier to get the best out of them. Think of a pair of Sennheiser HD 600/650's as a set of top-end PC Surround Speakers.
They have the potential to sound great, but if they are paired with a rubbish Sound Card, your not getting the best out of them!
hm i understand that. but will the soundstage be just as good as the ad700? would the bottle head crack amp be a good amp to power the hd600. my budget for an amp would like to see less than 250 if i could. i wish i could test everything out.
