Can you guys offer some suggestions?

I have on the way a Lambda Pro w/ SRD-7 and an Omega II (both on the way.) I currently have an HE60 w/ stax adapter.

What amp would you suggest for the Omega II's and/or the HE60?

Ideally I'd like an amp that was perfect for both so I could properly compare the cans. Besides the two in the title, I'm also thinking about the Woo Audio electrostatic amp.

I like tube bloom and listen to female vocals, trance and 60s jazz mostly.

I assumed the 007tII was the best choice for the Omegas but after reading around I'm not so sure.

The T1 is a bad choice for the O2's. The bass is woolly and over blown and the top end is very recessed. The amp simply doesn't have the power to drive them. The HE90's sound great though and the amp has really made me like them.

I've never compared a stock T1 to a 007t but I preferred my then lightly modded T1 to the 007t but it had nothing really to do with tube bloom or driving ability. The T1 was more musically satisfying, cheaper and drove most of my collection pretty well so I just spent the difference in upgrading it further.
