| The AKGs 701s are not forgiving of the amp that drives the. They sit on the edge of the territory where, they almost need a proper amp to do them justice. Stick them on a cheap headphone socket and they will do exactly that, make it sound like a cheap headphone socket. Stick them through, even something as cheap as a PIMETA and, lo the bass appears about an octave deeper and the hi mids show you exactly what is there..
The Sennheisers are more forgiving of a source and headphone amp, the AKGs simply give you back what you stick into them, it's up to you to decide whether you want accuracy or euphony |
