I haven't heard the HD448 and not likely to do so ever, so I won't be commenting on it.
Amps that I normally use for testing, Burson HA-160, B22, Luxman P-1u and HA5000 for Audio Technicas.

I'm gonna have to agree.
But, the OP also doesn't have the high end amps that you have, so I don't think the 280's are a bad choice for him.
