You'll need an amp, yes, but it's 150 ohms so they aren't that hard to drive.

i figure he means SQ from an amp. something like your M/M stack would drive them great, but i'm assuming he means matching expensive headphones with expensive amp. atleast, that's what i hope he meant lol.

Exactly what I meant. Even if you get a ridiculously good price on premium high end headphones don't forget that they are usually matched with amplifiers/DACs costing the same as the cans themselves (if not more) and finding them on special offer / heavily reduced price isn't easy :p

Kind of amps you should look at: Woo Audio 3 ($450) or Woo Audio 7 ($1000), M/M stack etc.. Or Sennheisers own HDVD800 for fricken $2000. Two thousand dollars. Though people buying the HDVD800 would probably own the HD800.. :D

Yeah, was gonna say there should be some amps that can power those headphones for a reasonable price lol.

Also, Sennheiser HD600 Audiophile Dynamic Headphones $239 + Free Shipping
