AKG K701

I wasn't sure where to post this so here goes. I'm interested in the AKG K701 heaphones, and had a few questions. Will a Harman Kardon CDR-26 power them ok? I won't be able to afford a headphone pre-amp for a while. If you were going to spend $400.00 on phones which would you suggest? Would I be better off buying say a pair of Sennheiser - HD580 headphones, and a Antique Sound - HB1 Hybrid Tube Headphone Amp to go with it. I can do either one of those options.

I own the AKG 701's (as well as Sennheiser HD600's and Etymotic ER-4P).

The AKG 701's have a very detailed sound, wide soundstage and neutral presentation. Gives you a feeling that you are right onstage with the performer. Vocals and strings really shine. If you are into bass, you may be disappointed...as they don't over emphasize lower frequencies. In listening to my AKG's I have discovered many new details in some of my favorite CD's
