Folks!
I've been on this forum for years and never thought to spend time in this subforum! This has been a great resource and I've done a lot of reading. So, thank you for existing!
I'm technical with computers but much of what "audiophiles" discuss goes right over my head. This question is one that's bothered me for a LONG LONG TIME and here it is:
Folks will say stuff like:
"Orthodynamics/planars/insert-type-of-can-here are INEFFICIENT!!!! They need a strong/powerful amp to sound their absolute best!"
And then they'll even start suggesting hooking up said types of headphones to speaker terminals on vintage receivers or similar suggestions.
Can you please explain it to me as if I was 4 years old? Pictures are great too!
Seriously though, thank you in advance all.
