What are the best monitor speakers for classical?

What are the best bookshelf or monitor speakers, mounted on stands, paired with a Sunfire True Subwoofer Junior for classical music, orchestral and chamber? Associated equipment: Magnum Dynalab MD-308 integrated amp; Rega Jupiter CD player; Taddeo Digital Antidote II between CD player analogue and pre-amp inputs. Listening room: 120 sq. ft. Listening for best possible tonal balance specifically, clarity of midrange and relative sharpness/harshness or softness of high frequencies. Fullness of bass is not a concern - will purchase crossover to relieve midrange/woofer of 150 Hz and down. Also listening for imaging, i.e., projection of a 3-dimensional space; and spaciousness = the overall depth conveyed and a sense of sound happening in a real space.

Shadorne - Telarc studios uses ATC speakers which are way out of my budget, thnaks anyway.
Elsneb - checked out the Callistos - way beyond what I can afford, thanks for your suggestion.
Bob Reynolds - checked out the Lipinski's - way to large for my room and I use a sub woofer not needed with the Lipinski's. Also checked out the M&K B1600's. If my amp is not the problem I will probably go with these. Thanks for your suggestion.
Daveyf - the Sonus Fabers are too expensive for me. Thanks for your suggestion.
Chadnliz - these are way too expensive for me. Thanks for your suggestion.
