Hd 650 and k701s were among the top range of this field for 10 years, they are not "mid fi", and are worth every penny of any hi-end equipment you fed them.

Maybe,but if a pair of headphones are so incredibly difficult and picky with amplification,and able to sound well only with the very best equipment,they have failed miserably from the beginning.

Well put and correct.
Also, saying "you think these headphones suck because your system sucks" is the worst sort of condescension.
Trying to fix the ****ty performance of K701s with an upgraded amp and/or source is like trying to fix a severed jugular with a Bandaid.
