Well, my thinking is, too loud is too loud--be it through speakers or through headphones. With speakers, you obviously have more space to dissipate the sound, but I find that I get plenty of dynamics through my 'phones. It's a different PRESENTATION of dynamics, to be sure, but still plenty satisfying to me. There are some great headamp manufacturers out there: Ray Samuels, Singlepower, Heed, HeadAmp, Rudistor. Personally, I use a Ray Samuels, but you can't go wrong with any of the above.
Follow Ups:
I would add the PS Audio GCHA headphone am to this list. I am using one with the AKG701 and am getting amazing results.
Don't the 701's have to be connected to the speaker binding posts on the back of a power amp rather than run from a headphone socket?
That is certainly true of the AKG1000 headphones which require 5 or so watts to work. The 701's require MUCH less power to operate properly. Any headphone amp that produces a reasonable output should work fine. The GCHA produces 2-3 watts class A and is more than enough to drive the 701's.
