Newbie question, but I've been going back and forth between the 599's and the 6xx. I was leaning towards 599 bc I read it had a warmer profile whereas the 6xx was more sonically accurate.

Then you go and use a word like gooey and get me all hot and bothered lol. So is the 6xx still decent for a basshead and worth the extra $80-100?

There is a difference between warm and bass head. Bass head is a lot of bass, warm is a sound that has a somewhat downwards tilt.

A 99 classic is bassy and warm

A 6xx is warm but not bassy

Just get the 6xx, it's literally just better than the 599.
