There are headphones that require over 2 watts to drive right. and the HE6 is probably one of them.
It's fair, but I really don't think TA-ZH1ES needs to cater to headphones that need that when so many just get it right. It's similar to why put up with headphones that don't have comfy design and ask for 4999 when others can do it properly comfort wise at 1/4th the price.
It would be worse if HE6 was priced at 6k tho lol
Maybe it was planned lol

So right there you can see at 83.5 dB you are going to need something major to get these cans to sing as they are intended. Roll in the Hifiman EF5 at 2 watts per channel power to combat that concern.
