I'm addicted... help me choose between these amps...

So I started off with the ad700's awhile ago and later ended up buying a dac destroyer. I recently decided I wanted to upgrade my headphone setup so I ordered the FIIO e9 and both the senn hd598 and akg q701. I sent the hd598's back as I loved the akg. I really wanted the q701's and knew they needed an amp so I bought the e9 to hold me off until I could buy a tube headphone amp which is what I really want. Well... I think I am ready to upgrade already lol.

 

 

The three options I am looking at are:

Woo audio wa3 or wa6

Glow Audio Amp one

Pacific Valve Ming Da MC 84C07

 

They are all similar priced. Which of these amps do you guys feel would go best with the akg q701s?

 

 

As of right now I am leaning towards the Glow audio amp one (plus I love their look!). 

Any other amp options are welcome however the amp one is about the highest I'd like to go right now. Any idea why the newest version is so much more than previous versions?

I can only state that I am an owner of both the k701s and the Woo 3. These do not go together as the k701s are low impedance and the Woo 3 is a high impedance amp. You would be way better off with another amp choice. The HD650/600 combo goes great with the Woo 3 if you get a chance to try it.
