I currently have a grade-A kickass power supply (Enermax Galaxy Evo 1250w) but I have been wondering recently, what is next in power supplies? It seems that we have pretty much hit the wall in terms of voltage regulation and ripple suppression (on the good units anyway). I assume they won't get markedly better until there is a change from the ATX form-factor. Do all we really have to look forward to is better efficiency and the lower noise because of it(because the fans can't get any bigger)?

There's always room for improvement. Ripple suppression and voltage regulation still aren't perfect in the best PSUs, and there are other aspects to performance as well, like dynamic load response, transient response, low-load efficiency, minimum load requirements, etc.
 
Everything is based on ROI, or return on investment. That holds true for both the manufacture and the consumer.

For the right money a manufacture can build an almost perfect PSU, the question is will the customer pay the price.

My guess the next step will be a PSU with new specs as in higher output. Think about what kind of power 8 core multi CPU machines with 4 or more 4 GPU video cards will take. Then, ponder the very limited market.
