HeadAmp Blue Hawaii HP amp


I know this Amp is excellent for powering the Stax headphones. Can the Blue Hawaii also power other headphones that have XLR connectors? I am thinking of purchasing the Stax SR-007 or 009 in the future but in the meantime would the Blue Hawaii power my Hifiman HE-6 and Sennheiser HD-650? And if yes would it power them well or poorly (too powerful of an amp for the headphones)?

Thanks for the facts. I'm not interested in changing gear frequently (not enough capital for that) or having my eardrums busted. But my greatest concern is the bass. I've read it goes deep. Is the BHSE's bass anything like the Sennheiser HD 800 (Deep but soft)? I don't consider myself a bass head but if there's substantial bass in the music I'm listening to I want to hear it (substantially). Does the BHSE/007 or 009 combo do well with R&B, Pop, Rock, Jazz and Techno? Those are a few of the genre's I fully enjoy.
I know it's been a long time since any responses to this thread but can anyone give me a clue?  How happy would I be with the bass from Johnny "Guitar" Watson's, "A Real Mother For Ya?" or "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz 2 Men? or Michael Jackson's "Bad?" or some extremely heavy bass like in "Angel" by Massive Attack? If I'm going to pay nearly $10K for a headphone setup, it will have to be able to bring me utter delight from every high quality file I send its way. So please tell me "exactly" what kind of bass can I expect.
