"Slightly" more $$$

The Panadas look really really good on paper. What type of reviews do they get? I say go for it and report back...

Try it, you may be surprised.

Maybe I will one day, but the Sendy's are a more efficient 32Ω headphone. My M1060C/M1060 can make noise with less power but sound best when I'm using them with my Emotiva A100 BasX with the mods or my Monolith 887 on high gain. Both of those are pushing multiple watts per channel.

I agree some headphones require more juice than on the specs to sound good...but jerick70 is right given one a try think it will depend on headphone but obviously more efficient the better.

The BTR5 might be good with the Fostex TH-X00's I just bought, they are pretty efficient at 25Ω.

Watts aren't the entire story with the BTR5. It outputs 2.8 volt on the balanced out. Current is just as important as watts....

Yeah, I get that. However, my Hiby R3 pro is 2.6V on the balanced out and 210mW + 210mW (close to the BTR5 on both specs) and can't run my Monoliths well at all. Like I said, I might try one with the Fostex I bought, but I still doubt it would run my others.

I'm now listening to my Modhouse Argons and the BTR5 is delivering with these too. 50 ohms, 91 db less than efficient.

Bro, sounds like you really need to get some sleep, lol.

Lol haven’t got time, got three bikes to build. That’s what is taking up my time and money lately. We’re actually toying with the idea of building some custom bikes, Cafe Racers, Bobbers etc, getting very popular these days.

So how are the Grados mate? I've always wanted to listed to some, but I've never been in a place to.

The custom Cafe Racer market was off the chart before the Covid19 situation. Hopefully when we eventually return to some level of normalcy you could turn that into a lucrative side business. Maybe even a full time gig.

Also remember the efficiency ratings are not linear. More logarithmic so I would have to agree the @OldDude04 on this one.
