Hello,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to audiophile gear. I recently lost my entrey level Klipsch S4's and decided it would be a good time to upgrade to some better quality IEMs. I bought a pair of Klipsch X11s as replacements. Why these? Found them for sub-$200, so figured it was a bargain.
Now, my question is would these IEMs benefit from a portable amp? I was specifically looking at the FiiO Mont Blanc E12A IEM edition amp. Reason I ask is because the specs on this amp says "Recommended headphone impedance: 300 ohms", when I look up the ohms on the X11s it says 50 ohms.
I generally use an iPhone to play my portabe music.
Thanks.
