Just a little pricier than what's been discussed, check out the Revel Concerta2 series designed by Kevin Voecks. The flagship of the line is the F36 @ $2,000/pr.
But there are smaller towers, and stand-mounts for less... and they all sound MUCH better than they should at this price-point - a true audiophile bargain. Recommended to me by Roger Skoff (XLO cables), and boy, was he right!
