Hey guys,
 
So I've been looking to get another pair of cans for a while now. The Denon D5000s woody cups and extra bass have seduced me but I'm worried about my setup. From some brief reading I've heard some people say they are not that great with tube amps. Obviously I'm not looking to buy an SS amp anytime soon so I'll be using the equipment in my signature.

It seems that you have a tube amp in your sig so just take a listen.  I can tell you that the low impedance Denons will sound (usually) better from a Transformer Coupled amp, (rather than an OTL) like the Woo 6.

My D2000 and W5000 sound wonderful with either the transformer coupled WA6 or Bijou OTL amp. Typically low impedance cans are easier to drive and it has been my experience that most OTL tube amps have a low output impedance which pairs up well with the cans. I have not noticed any significant issues with lack of bass. Of course every amp is different and it is dependent upon the design of the amp and the driver tubes.
