Monitor Audio for classical music


Is anyone using Monitor Audio for classical music. I am looking at these as well as Vienna, and Martin Logan. I realize these are very different speakers, I am looking for detail and resolution, even on the cool side as long as not fatiguing

I have been unable to post until now due to a problem syncing with audiogon. Thanks everyone, I will go over all your responses
Layman, you are confirming what I have herd from some, that Monitors are bright, ringing as you put it. I am leaning Martin Logan, my budget is initially 2 grand, but will upgrade to 10 grand, so i would like to find a speaker, and then continue the upgrade
Before letting this one go, has anyone heard the Monitor PL200? This was the speaker that I read a review of that got me thinking in this direction.
johnnyb53 Thanks, things can indeed get solved in newer models, so I assume you have not heard the gold or platinums? I will check out the others you mentioned. The Monitors are the best looking speaker I have seen in it's price range, which is a big plus
I was not too clear, I have a short and mid term plan, start out with say a $2000 model of X, and in a year or so upgrade, hopefully in the same speaker, if I like it. This is based on my financial situation. Right now I have a Parasound setup, but I really want to head over to Mcintosh ($$$) at some point. I do like Marantz, I have a Marantz SACD player which I really enjoy. The RX8 sounds great, thanks for your expertise
