I want something dirty.

Deep bass (gotta hear the individual notes tho), Bloated mid-range and lazy treble.

It won't be accurate at all and that will be the point. It will suit Jazz / Blues. Everything else can be listened using my Oppo HA-1.

Well I don't know if they fit - but if you want dirty, gritty, deep bass, bloated mids, and lazy treble...the A028 for the preamp in the Hammond B3 fits the bill!!!! LOL!!! Johnathan Butler had a cut on an album he put out about 2 years ago that featured a grimmy B3! I loved it!!! Everything else was clear and clean until that B3 hit certain chords (that's not a mistake - that was purposful). On a Kirk Whallum cut (Ta-Ta ya) I can actually hear the organist flipping his slider bars - too cool!

The Muses seem to be very musical (pun not intended). The OPA 2132P's are kinda analytic - but mates well with the Muses02 - I've got to wait until my 8920's to get here to listen to a fully Muse'd out Xonar Essence ST. I think it will be a fine match indeed!

Can't wait for you to experiment with your new head-amp!!!!!
