Mmmm, I've been using a couple different studios with Genelec monitors and such for a couple years now...and I'm always amazed at what I hear in the headphones, not the speakers. The speakers always color things much more than headphones. What is it you are hearing in speakers that you don't think you hear through a good pair of audiophile cans?
