“An amp which LOVES the HD650 is the Caliente from Purity Audio. I was concerned that, with the strong bass portrayal of the HD650 and the slightly warmed bass presentation of the "Caliente" version of the K.I.C.A.S. amp, that it might be too much. It is not. The bass is presented so transparently, cleanly and so well toned that it provides a strong and meaty spectral foundation for the music without overpowering or obscuring voices in any other spectral region. It can be spooky just how real and present the musical voices sound, particularly human voice. The spatial aspects of the music with the HD650/Caliente combo are presented in a realistically life-size, highly coherent and compellingly convincing soundstage. The dynamic range of this combo is enviable as well - from the faintest features (which are fully formed in exquisite detail) to the largest, boldest features (which are also displayed in their full size and intensity without saturation or distortion, spectral or timbral). From classical instrumental through progressive metal and into the farthest realms of electronica, this combo performs convincingly and movingly.”
