Best nearfield monitor?

My system is in a small room and for years I had various minimonitor speakers (B&W, Celestion, ADS, Essence) there as I sat nearfield. I supplemented the bottom end with a subwoofer but always wanted to try a floorstander that would improve bass and dynamics. However, I didn't want to give up the soundstaging/disappearing act that minimonitors excel at. I then tried some Wilson Sophias and then Watt Puppy 7's and was very pleasantly surprised at how well they soundstage, easily as well as the minimonitors I had. And the bass and dynamics are a big step up.

I am in a very small room and sit about 4-5 feet from the speakers. The Wilson WP7 is terrific in the nearfield--in fact, that was what they were originally designed for. Soundstage size is huge, transparent, and the instruments easily stand out from the mix. Add their bass and dynamics and I would vote for them as one of the best nearfield monitors. If you think about it, the WP7 is a combination of a nearfield monitor (Watt) and a bass bin (Puppy). If you buy a nearfield monitor you need a stand for it. So why not use a bass bin like the Puppy that goes to 20Hz instead of a stand that adds nothing to the sound. If you want a small monitor for imaging and detail, I agree, but why not get the bass, dynamics, and power handling of a larger speaker in a small package that works well in the nearfield?
