Which of these amps should i get?

Darkvoice 332,
Heed CanAmp
maybe the Corda Aria
or something else?

A PPA amp was aslo recommended to me.

I want to stay more or less in the same price range. I've auditioned the k701, hd600 and hd650 recently, but don't know which cans I'm going to get. I'm leaning towards the Senns at the moment. Anyhow I want to buy an amp first so I can audition the cans properly.

I listen to a bit of everything. Electronic, rock, bit jazz, classical, etc. I like to listen to music at low to medium volumes, somewhat of a smooth lush relaxed but detailed sound, I like my bass well articulated but not overpowering. I can't stand an overwhelmingly bright setup or with too much treble. I want the amp to sound good out of the box or with some burn in. Maybe a few details of what kind of sound to expect would also help.

I think the right move is to buy the cans first and audition amplifiers.

Not much chance of that happening because none of these amps are available in my country to audition. I'll order online.

I found a local guitar/dj gear shop which has all 3 cans, but no proper head amp. The guy that works there says he doesn't mind if I bring in an amp to further audition the cans. So I dunno. At the shop, I audition them hooked up to the head out of a dj mixer equalizer whatchamacallit. I liked the sound of the Seens, but vocals and some layers of music were a bit distant. The k701 were brand new, with no burn in and sounded anemic.
