My home Harman Kardon AV receiver isn't enough juice for my LCD-XC's when I'm watching movies. I don't need audiophile quality sound but I need to at least be able to fill them out instead of the clipping and hollow sound I get now because they're under driven.

cbtlrYou think this would be a solution to one of Audeze's best headphones? Pretty silly to get something low end for such a high end product.

vongCompletely missing my point. This wouldn't be my primary amp. I'm not buying a 300+ dollar amp just for watching movies in my living room once in awhile when I already have a 800 dollar amp and 800 dollar dac in my office for these headphones.

cbtlrOh, should've said that in the original post. That receiver must be pretty weak if that's happening to your headphones. My Arcam AV380 powers my LCD-2's just fine, only lacking bass.

vongIt's a 7.2 channel 125 watts per channel receiver. Not weak by any means. It's headphone output is just a bit gimped, it's not unlistenable but the sound can be loud but is rather flat from being underpowered.

cbtlrSorry I meant the headphone output must be weak.

vongClearly, I guess hard to drive cans aren't common so I would see why it wouldn't have a ton of juice out the headphone out port but I expected a little more from Harman Kardon. I'll probably pick up a used schiit amp for 75 bucks on headfi.
