Krell Resolution 3. The Resolution series is no longer made, you probably can pick up a used pair for $2k. They originally listed for $4,000, and went up to $5,000 by the time they went out of production. I have lived happily with mine for four years. The 8" midbass driver gives an added weight to the sound that most standmounted speakers in this price range don't have. And the Vifa ring radiator tweeter is very good.
