Yep, perhaps the most musically satisfying headphone setup matches, and especially with the 9000s, I have ever heard for dozens of years now. Blue Hawaii in blue chassis for me is blue heaven !or maybe this 9000/BHSE bundle might be better........for a little more money (if you asked Headamp, likely they would match the L.T.A bundle price). you more lose yourself into BHSE. and the BHSE might have better resale than the L.T.A (for some reason people do tend to switch headphones and headphone amps often).
however; the L.T.A. bundle has the advantage of (1) being able to drive dynamic headphones quite well, (2) being able to drive speakers and (3) has a remote volume control. might be important to some for location of the unit and your listening chair.....if you are combining 2 channel and headphones allows the amp to be with the sources and not next to your listening position.
i don't think you can go too far wrong either way. personally for me the choice would be whether i wanted more than one headphone type. if only the Stax then i would choose the BHSE.

This combo is indeed epic!Headamp is in Charlottesville, Virginia. i've owned the BHSE electrostatic headphone amp and it would be my choice for stats in that price range.
they are certainly at the CAF venue....or any CanJam venue.

No other amplifier can provide electrostatic headphones with the accuracy, drive, and control of the Blue Hawaii SE. When paired with the Dan Clark Audio Voce, STAX SR-009S or SR-007 MK2, the headphones come alive with detail, transparency, and bass control unheard on with lesser amplifiers.www.headamp.com
