These need a solid amp to get the best out of them. These also have the latest headband, which is not only much softer, more comfy but does not rely on rubber tension for clamping power, so it should be much more reliable.
It also comes in a new color and box is marked Adorama exclusive

I did. I bought HE6 and my friend loaned me LCD4 along with Chord Dave amp(that how he is insane). My headphone amp is Monolith platinum driving all my power hungry cans. My music amp is Yamaha A-S1200. I spend almost month playing with them and than same did my friend as he was interested in HE6 himself.
Bottom line i sold HE6 after all without any regret.
HE6 is very good sounding cans when driven properly, but they no way in same league as LCD4. Sorry, it is what it is. For that price it's definitely good buy if you already own good amp. Otherwise it will open gate for more spending in order to let the sounds right.

Don't be fooled by people saying the numbers say you can run these off even a JDS Atom. It will sound worse than a Sundara. Only consider this headphone if you will run them off a high powered, quality amp.

Can I use 2 sp200 amplifiers to drive this headphone LR separately?

Personally I think these headphones are only worth it if you're willing to own a dedicated setup for them, usually comprised of a 40lb heat generating speaker amplifier.

I have the v1 of these and was using the emotiva for a while. The amp has enough power for them.
Currently using a stereo amp and they sound a bit better. Onkyo m504. Overkill for sure as I listen at a volume where the meters hit 1w.
you'll only need 1
