Need to get more volume on the headphone monitoring box!

Hello experts,

I have a recording studio at home. I dont have a wall between the tracking and the control room, so its difficult to provide good levels of monitoring when recording a full rock band, even when using closed-circumaural headphones.

Can you recommend me a good and cost effective active headphone box? Or a power amp for the passive box I have?

Control Room Monitoring Senario's ?

I use an analog console in my studio for some tracking and for mix down. When I mix down I have no choice but to go into and A/D to get back into a stereo track in pro tools. I use TC MD3 to master in PT. All good.
The question is ? Do you think the console should always be monitored through the A/D and then to control room monitors via D/A as would be the case during mix down.

Talk-back Ducking

In Sonar 8.5 (won from recording.org!), say I have 8 or so tracks open of the band.

How would I incorporate a talkback track that ducks out the whole mix?

I am guessing that it would incorporate a compressor on the whole mix that is triggered by the talk?

Is there a generally more accepted method? Thanks!
