sep90 sudah ada b22?
On the portie amp powering K701..is the matter of: is ur portie player THAT good? On my system, the lowly low-Q iPod is the scoundrel and not the portable amp. This post has been edited by ijan: Feb 17 2009, 09:10 PM |

Usually people use desktop amps to power K701..
most of the time portable amps not enough juice to power them. Of course, there are exceptions, but i still think desktop amps are the best to power them adequately. |
