I just ordered a set of high end headphones, the Denon AH-D7000. It won't be delivered for a while though (out of stock). I'm wondering how well my Yamaha RX-V2700 receiver will drive them. It was the second-best receiver in their lineup two years ago, so I have to believe it'll drive them well. I'm just wondering if anybody else uses similar model Yamahas for driving their headphones and, if so, what they thought relative to a dedicated headphone amp. The headphones have an impedance of 25 ohms and a very high sensitivity at 108. Appreciate any comments.


Thanks,

Brian

Brian,


I'm sure you'll be fine with that setup.


Man, you are going for gold with the AH-D7000 headphones!!

I have a set of Denon AH-D1001 headphones ( about 4 steps down from your impending purchase) and have been very happy with them. I use them on several receivers, one of them being a Yamaha RX-V659 which was a step or two down from your RX-V2700.


The Denon D1001's are the most comfortable set of headphones in my stable of headphones.

Thanks - appreciate it. Sounds encouraging.


Anybody else try a similar combo?
