^ For balanced use you may want to check out the new HE-6 while it's at its introductory price; it should be able to be driven from a WA22 with 7236/5998 power tubes and it comes with a very nice 4-pin balanced XLR stock cable. Anyways if mine ever gets here I can tell you for sure how they match up. I have only heard the LCD-2 single-ended out of the WA22 with the stock cable and I thought that they sounded better out of my EF5, so I wasn't that impressed but that could change with a good balanced cable I suppose.

It's like that here too, globalization at its finest
I think I have a pair of HE-6s coming also it seems they ship from china, also got the E-Mail about my phone #.
I E-Mailed HiFiman and linked the WA5LE at Woo to ask if my tricked out WA5LE would have the power for the HE-6. There reply "Perfect".
The biggest reason why I did go with the HE-6 over the LCD-2 was because of what Ed Wood said about the HE-6 over the LCD-2 for the Realiser.
I will be trying my Onkyo A/V speaker amp also with the HE-6 just to make sure my WA5LE really is "Perfect" for the HE-6.
If my WA5LE easily powers the HE-6 using my Realiser also, then I may get my WA6SE out of the box and see how it is with the HE-6.
