I heard some emphasis around 2KHz and overall found the treble not quite to my tastes, but in ways that are hard to explain. Plus it didn't do well at high volume.

I felt the same way. Now if the k601 never suffered from distortion issues like the rest of the k series then that would of been such a perfect headphone cause their FR sounded very well balanced/flat compared to the k701/702/q701. I still consider the 601's best out of the k series.

Now the tricky part is find 601's and 612's the are NOT made in China.

Whatever you have lying around. Rumors of the K7 series being hard to drive are greatly exaggerated.

From memory the original K701 was harder to drive than the subsequent Q701 revisions onward.

LOL, HD600/H650 were "hard to drive" back in the day. I blame HFM.

It was how people avoided coming to terms with their dislike for the sound.

Oh god. This must have been years ago. I remember the K701 was the HD6XX killer and I got one. I remember freaking out about having to get a better amp and picking up a Heed Canamp. That was one of the first indications for me that most audio recommendations on the internet were complete donkey poop.
