It's not really an "issue" but I don't really like having only up to 8 or 9
o'clock on my volume control as the "max" I can go before things get louder
then I like to listen at. I would prefer to have at least up to 12 o'clock
(or half of available control setting)before I get to volumes that shorten my listening sessions & lead to "ear ringing"I have a much easier time driving my HFM HE-6s ("satisfactorily")then I do my HD800s. I like a lot of what I can hear from the HD800s,they're really not bright sounding through my Metrum Hex DAC,but they lack a bit of depth & transparency compared to my HE-6s. (So "depth" seems to translate to "dark sounding" to some people, I guess)
It probably comes down to the fact dynamic drivers hold on to the "fundamental" of a musical note slightly longer than a planar driver does maybe a microsecond longer than might be necessary

The Sonett seems to be about perfect for the headphones I've been using the most (1/2 to 2/3 on the volume dial for my K701s). My next headphones will probably be HD650s - another great match for both of the amps I'm currently using. It is reported that the Sonett is a very good match for the HD800s.The HD800s shouldn't be "harder" to drive than my AKG K speakers are, it's just that the HD800s are such revealing headphones. Good tone requires a precise matchup in associated equipment.
