Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?

Im banging my head with these ones but they are so good they deserve a LOT more attention. Irrespective of the definition of floor stander or monitors, they are placed on stand but are quite large, they are the finest speakers I have heard period and the ones that have stopped my search for another speaker, now my quest is for a headphone that can be even remotely close, although that feels more of an utopia, but the speakers are the APL Gravitas NB-1

He did say he is selling them "with considerable remorse." :)

Analogkid -

I use no preamp in the usual sense, instead going through the software-based J River 15 playback application in my mediaserver, using its internal digital volume control. I output directly from an RME HDSP 9632 soundcard into the NuForce, with great results. My music is stored lossless(WAV) on the harddrive. Since both the RME soundcard and J River 15 appl. are ASIO-supported, they're exclusively "linked" during playback. IC's and speakercables are Mundorf's Silver/gold.

It appears a software-based preamp may seem controversial almost, at least with regard to higher aspirations in sound reproduction, but in my experience it's the route to go. I also like the minimalist approach this setup offers.

What is your current system?

Phusis, I have Audio Physic Virgo IIs, an ASR Emitter I amp, and a Reimyo DAC. I think the ASR would be a great match with the Raidho - both are neutral, have incredible amounts of detail without being fatiguing, and produce soundstages with tremendous depth and width.
