Haha it makes a great portable source! Just a good all-rounder tablet, wish I had the Pro2 with that better battery life though.

 
I don't see many benefit to upgrade to Pro 2, the original one is good enough for me already. Especially if you have a usb-powered amp/dac combo, you'd have one impeccable semi-portable setup!

  Big Boi through Senn's? I guess you like your bass different than I.

 
Why not?

The HD800's bass is one of its best qualities IMO. It's subterranean and hits hard when called upon - and it's fast, nuanced and distinct instead of smeared, lumbering flab.

The HD650 doesn't dig as deep and its low end is characterised by that mid bass bloom but there is still good presence in that region. Through my system it's bass is taut and textured.

Have you heard the Senns through this system?

I havent heard them in that setup, but I also didnt like the HD800's when I heard them in another setup. I just havent heard any Sennheisers that i liked to be frank 

I'm just weird like that

On an unrelated note, anybody know how a set of passive studio monitors like say the KRK R6's would do on a 65 wpc at 4 ohms vintage receiver? Not looking for crazy high volume, looking for a nice clean detailed sound at a low to moderate level. The specs look good on the R6's other than the stated 81db sensitivity, which seems awful low.

Actually those are ADAM Audio F7 Studio Monitors.
 
The F7s look similar but have the 7 inch drivers.

It's unanimous how good the Mjolnir is for the Audez'e line but there are very few here who use it to drive the HD800. The assumption is that it is too lively for the Senn. That is what I found too when I had it paired with the Gungnir. Upgrading to M51 revealed the Schiit dac as the culprit, with the Mjolnir simply presenting the source as is - no gloss, warts and all. With the M51/MJ pairing I get soundstage width, deep but tight low end, explosive dynamics, and zesty upper mids and treble - without the obnoxiously loud and compressed dynamics, and fatigue inducing grain I suffered from the Gungnir/MJ combo.

The Mjolnir is a wicked amp for the HD650. It turns a quaint indie film into a balls to the wall action blockbuster. I'm not sure how the HD650 could sound better.

Well, this is troubling. I'm just considering the Uber Bifrost (which borrows from the Gungnir). Now, I'm pairing with the T90s, so the synergy might be different. Thoughts?
