Here's my list of ownership, prior to settling. For a few years now I've been completely happy with my hd6xx's and a fostex hp-a3 amp (but any SS amp is fine really). Of note, I had owned and sold them previously, and after cycling through much nicer gear, I went back and bought another pair and sold everything else. The ROI curve is real.

I really feel you, i got the hd650 at the beginning, i gave them back but really liked them. I just had too high expectations for headphones in general. I think i will buy them again
