Get an amplifier more suited to the HD-580's and the bottom end will flesh out nicely.

Well, unfortunately that doesn't help me. There is plenty of low end with the 280's but way too much midrange, so I'm not sure it's the amp. That said, then please suggest an amp. Just understand, I'm looking for 4-6db more low end, and my understanding of the term "flesh out" would just be a small amount.

Yeah, the 280's having more bass than the 580's tends to point to the difference in impedance not playing well with your amplifier.
I certainly understand and get that, but the 580's don't have enough bass with the Alpha, my Iphone, my Adcom, my Soundcraft mixing console, or my Qinpu so my conclusion is overall they don't have enough bass for me. And it's not just missing a little bit for my tastes. So I'm looking for something with more slam or thump, but still clarity in the mids and highs.
I have an extra dbx 15 band stereo EQ that I've though about adding between the Counterpoint and the Alpha, but I'm sure I'll lose some clarity and detail in the process.

You're basically using a bunch of amps that all have similar limitations.
You ought to look for a regional Headfi amp, bring your 580's, and try an OTL tube amplifier on them.
