Hang on, are you speaking from the position of a headphone designer? No, cause you're not one so shut up. None of us to the best of my knowledge are. All any of us are doing is putting off-the-shelf drivers in a new enclosure or taking off the shelf headphones and designing amps around them. We find new sounds with this effort, but nobody here has designed an actual dynamic driver*. The headphone designers have a really hard time of it. Its a wonder they can get anything done with having to work in BOTH electrical and mechanical fields. Let the headphone designers do their own thing, their job is already hard enough. Lack of science? You are out of your fucking mind Straight up insane insulting headphone MFRs like that. The technology in the AKG "varimotion" drivers and how AKG solved the problems they set out to solve is amazing. The ring radiators senn is pushing are a freakish show of knowledge. Beyer is too busy hyping the retarded field strengths in the T1 drivers to talk about anything else, but what kind of shade-tree engineering went into just getting those magnets & coils set up? Ooh, yea, none. They use plenty of scientific methods even when you don't like the results. The additional effort required to design an amplifier around a headphone with unusual (based on what standards?) drive requirements is a joke. There are tons of amp designers on this board. Ask really quick how hard it is to make a headphone amp with 120ohms output impedance. Don't let them weasel their way out with the bitch response of "why would you want to" just ask how hard is it? The effort is nominal. Sorry. *Apologies to anyone who has actually designed a dynamic driver. If you think your job is easy enough to let amp designers tell you what to do I have a few things I could add.
