Lambda Pros = K701s + what amp?

[wae5]

I have Lambda Pro/SRM-1/Mk-2s and recently bought a pair of K701s. I'm considering the Heed, LDM++, the Gilmore-Lite or the Head5 to pair with the 701s. I'm familiar with the sound of my Stax phone/amp combo and like it. Is there an amp on my list that sounds as good or better than the Stax combo or should I be considering something else? My limit is less than $400. Thank you Kugino for the clarification.

wait, is your limit <$400 or >$400? you probably mean the former, but wrote the latter. in any case, i think the M^3 is supposed to pair well with the k701. i'm really liking the GS-1 with it, though, which is basically a souped-up G-lite...
