Do I need an headphone amp?


I have a B&K Ref 30 driven by a Cinepro 2K63. I am considering the purchase of Grado or Sennheiser headphones. Will I need an external headphone amp?

Thanks in advance.

Grados are efficient and can generally be driven straight out of a headphone jack of a receiver pretty nicely (32 ohms). The Sennheiser 580/600s are really inefficient at 300 ohms and a headamp helps a lot.
