I am looking for your thoughts on the finest phones that can be run balanced along with the balanced amp that you would rate as king of the hill.... an unbeatable dynamic combo.

For most music types this is close to unbeatable...although I'd probably add an L3000 or PS-1 to cover all the bases. Of course if you just want one setup that can do anything HE90+ ES-1 with the ever improving tube combos is simply unbeatable but you of course know that...

Quite possibly, but the OP asked about dynamic headphones.

I have not heard nearly enough cans to comment properly on this, but I can say that the HD-650s are probably the cans most transformed by going from single-ended to balanced configuration. I suspect mating them to one of the top tier balanced amps (as opposed to all those economy balanced units, right?) would make for a contender that would be difficult to beat.

That would have been my guess too, but at the National's, Mikhail had the R10/SDSXLR set up across the isle from Bosebuttons various HE90 set-ups.
Now it could have been the John Holmes headphone cable
that Mikhail was using, but his set-up really excelled.
