Good so far.

The System

Listening with

Focal Clear · Headphones: open-back, dynamic (40 mm Al/Mg M-dome), circumaural · discontinued
  • Impedance: 55 Ω
  • Sensitivity: 104 dB SPL / 1 mW @ 1 kHz ≈ 116.6 dB/V (calc.)
  • Frequency response: 5 Hz – 28 kHz
  • Plugs / cables supplied: 4-pin XLR; 6.35 mm; 3.5 mm cables supplied

Matching notes: At 55 Ω and 104 dB/mW, the Focal Clear is a low-impedance load, and an efficient one: about 0.47 V (4 mW, 8.5 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 55 Ω rating for the Funk. Its 32 Ω and 100 Ω ratings (2.5 W SE; 0.6 W SE) fall either side of it. The Funk’s under 2 Ω headphone output impedance is less than 1/28 of the load. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

HiFiMAN Ananda · Headphones: open-back, planar magnetic, circumaural · discontinued
  • Impedance: 26 Ω
  • Sensitivity: 93 dB (reference not stated)
  • Frequency response: 8 Hz – 55 kHz
  • Plugs / cables supplied: 3.5 mm sockets on cups; 1.5 m cable with 3.5 mm plug
  • Other: 399 g (original guide)

Klipsch RP600M · Speakers: passive 2-way standmount, rear Tractrix port (1 in titanium LTS tweeter, Tractrix horn, 6.5 in Cerametallic woofer) · discontinued
  • Impedance: 8 Ω (compatible)
  • Sensitivity: 96 dB (2.83 V / 1 m)
  • Frequency response: 45 Hz – 25 kHz (±3 dB)
  • Recommended amplifier power: max 100 continuous / 400 peak (power handling)
  • Other: crossover 1,500 Hz; 7.3 kg
