Herron M1 Monos. Granted, they are paired with a Herron preamp, but these are very good. So far, much more detailed and resolving than my McCormack DNA-125 Gold, bigger (huge) soundstage, but just as musical. Low-level details are more easily heard. Vocals are more holographic and real. I must say, the DNA-125 Gold is no slouch though, but these Herrons are really nice. I don't have as much audiophile experience as most on the board, but others say the Herron stuff is very uncolored. I little more expensive than you are looking to spend (maybe you can get a used pair for $3k). If you have a budget of $2000, pick up a used DNA-125 and get the Silver revision. It is the best I have heard at that price point.
