I am not sure what you are looking for or what price range you are in. But there are companies that make new "vintage" speakers. Tannoy and Klipsch are two that I like. Old Klipsch are forward and very dynamic and Tannoy are smooth, laid back (still detailed). The Tannoys have newer technology in them like "Dual Concentric" drivers to help with phase and time alinement.

Here is a link to Tannoy's site.

I agree with Johnnyb53, speakers out of Canada right now have a very good price/performance value. If you are in the USA it is best to buy American (or Canadian) with the current value of the dollar. Over seas pricing is going through the roof. It is not a problem though... American speakers are still king of the hill in my book. Brands like Thiel and Wilson come to mind. Sadly though many of the American prices are ski rocketing too....

What is your budget? For the types of music you listen to I have a good feeling you would really like Paradigm Studio 100s. They have solid bass (a touch over done) with a clear/clean/flushed out midrange. Some say the highs are a little harsh but I did not think so. Used they range from $1,000 to $1,500. IMO the Studio 100s play well out of there price range.
