will astro mix amp be enough to power these enough for optimal listening experience ?

It should do fine, although you'd get a better experience with a dac/amp combo like the fiios alpen e17.

I don't know but I'm using the Fiio E17 and it does a fine job with the HE 400's.In my opinion you definitely need an amp and the FIIO E17 has bass control which makes all the difference. I just want to say that the more I listen to these headphones the more I appreciate them.

Even my phone is able to power these, so I am sure it is fine in terms of sheer power. It doesn't seem hard to drive like other orthodynamics

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

They will work but will not be very loud. you buy an amp with higher power for better sound quality.

Yes, this amp will be enough. I have mine powering four 6.5s with 60 watt rms.

Yea it wilk work id recommend getting a bigger amp tho. I got two of these wired down to 1ohm with a planet audio ac5000.1d so they are gettin around 1500rms each at 1ohm and man do they pound

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

It will depend on the how the gain on your amp is set. IMO, 500 watt RMS power for these speakers is way overkill.

No they're passive speakers. You will need 'powered' mixer that also acts as amplifier.

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

It will produce sound, the quality will be questionable tho. I put 150w rms to mine and they sound amazing. Between 100w-200w would be ideal IMO. The more CLEAN power that you give them, the better they'll sound.

yes but i'm not sure how many ohm's the mixamp pushes. you'll probably benefit from double amping i'm sure.

I have mine hooked to an amp and the sound quality is spectacular. Can't say as to the difference if they were being pushed by only the stereo.

you should be fine.. just make sure don't over power them.. you can blow the speakers.. they hit hard.. sound good with my amp..alpine and alpine head unit

Yes, they will take even almost double the power but still remain efficient enough for less power. You will be happy if you get these speakers as they sound sweet for the money and are a good match for the power you will feed them. If you got the room, try the floor standing model of this speaker with 2 6inch woofers and 1 horn if you plan on getting a more powerful amp in the future or are building a home theater system. These speakers also sound equally sweet for home theater as well as music. Hope this answer helps.

It'll certainly work and work nicely. If you're looking for a lot of power you may want to consider a unit with more wattage. If you are happy with moderate volume you're certain to enjoy this amp.

that would be best way to get the most out of them but no you do not need an amp i have mine running off the mb quart 1000.4 there getting about 75 watts each set and man they sound great.

You should be able to if you have the power to push them I us them for my Dj set up and it brings out the Hi end but I have them on there own power amp.
