That’s a cointoss. Para looks more behaved in the mids but as I’ve said - they gobble up current like mad. https://vsg.squig.link/?share=Harman\_Combined\_Over-Ear\_Target,HIFIMAN\_Sundara,MOONDROP\_PARA\_hybrid
Short of a transformer so your amp sees something more healthy than those 8 ohms, I don’t know. The problem is twofold - these are not very efficient (80dB/mW vs 105dB/mW on the HD600) so they need actual power to work. The 8 ohm impedance just means that the way the power needs to be delivered is super inconvenient for most headamps. Think of the Para more like a 110dB/W speaker.
Shenzhen has them for 254$ right now.
The JDS Labs Atom was tested down to 12 ohms. It might do it but it won’t like the load one bit.
