Ever tried a Stax ? I once had the opportunity to try a SR-307 (Lambada series) and they were amazing. There are two major drawbacks with them: very expensive and need for a dedicated amplifier. But for serious studio work they seem to be the best there is. Don;t know though if they fit your needs.
