I bought a pair of KEF Reference 104/2s that I run in biwired mode. Everything below 80 Hz is handed off to a Velodyne HGS-15. The transition from KEF to Velodyne is seamless. I've heard lots of high-end speakers, and I'm happy with this combination. It projects a large sound stage with excellent imaging, openness, and transparency. Total cost was a bit under $2 K.
