I've had a headroom max for several years with various phones & sources & I have never liked the crossfeed feature at all. It adds some unnatural, annoying ambiance. I do highly recommend the max (last generation, preferably with the later reference module) as a great, smooth amp.
(I also dislike the the high filter.)
I also use the 650s (with a Zu Mobius cable), but now prefer the AKG 701s (they are more liquid-sounding, but the 650s may be better with any abrasive or piercing recordings).
Good luck.
