Yes, the G93 is a good amp to use with the 800s. Lake People (Violectric) amps are apparently used and liked by Axel Grell, the lead designer of the HD-800. In my experience the V100 is a perfect match with HD800. The G93 is not as powerful or refined as the V100, but it's got more than enough juice for the HD800.
 
*edit* I thought you said HD800. Well, anything that is good for the 800 is even better for the 600... so yes your amp is fine.
