Not sure if you can spare the I/o or how you prefer to monitor but I got a JDS Labs Atom headphone preamp and typically use that along with Slate VSX. My JBL monitors are not bad, but the VSX setup gets me much more accurate mixes I find. So I use the monitors mainly for composing.

Anyway I mention this in case you have the outputs available and want to save a grand and just use a really good headphone amp instead.
