I didn't quite get the the level I'm at now with them but I tried them on a few ~500 DAC/Amps and my favorite was the D100. I think they'd sound fantastic with a very transparent SS amp. 
 


 
 


I'd love to hear that, and I've always loved the classy design of the Denon D7000 and all the rest of the Denon series.

I wouldn't mind picking up another D5000 sometime, it paired very well with my x-head SS amp ($200) when I had it. I would think the D7K would be a good pairing as well.

Sony MDR R-10, I've listened to them at several meets. Love'm to death but they're out of my price range.

Either Grado HP-2s or SR-200s. I heard both of these at a meet I hosted years ago and I still remember the wow factor.  And the dream cable/IC was a Kimber KCAG.  Amped with either my Melos SHA or a Berning Micro ZOTL.

The HD800 blended with the HD650. Less bright, more lush.

The wood cups on the R10 are THE finest wooden cups ever made for any headphone. On the outside, they're uniquely shaped and yet have have an understatedly elegant look. On the inside they're even more impressive, with special woodturning to optimize the design. I love Audio-Technica woodies, but honestly, they don't even come close to the grandeur of the R10's cups.

A dream headphone ? I want one which has K1000 soundstage, details of Qualia, comfort of HD800 and bass of LCD2. 
I'll take two

The HD800 already has legendary soundstage, IMO. Unless you want to be able to adjust like on the K1000, I don't see a need for the K1000's soundstage, as the HD800 is extremely impressive as it already is.
