I'm with Wooch and RGA in that I prefer standmounts in your price range. Your money seems to go farther in that the quality of the parts and construction seem to be higher. After all, the money the manufacturer would have spent on extra cabinetry can now be spent on drivers, crossovers, bracing, etc. They seem to provide better accuracy, build quality, imaging, yadayadayada.

I also didn't care for the 705 and I'm a B&W owner! The Studio 20 v3's are really, really good speakers and definitely worth consideration. You might check into some planars such as the Maggie MMG ($550) for your taste. Just remember they need room and current. Man, there are so many good standmounts from JM Lab's Chorus S to Monitor Audio to Von Schweikert to Mission...the list goes on. Listen to as many as you can and let your ears decide.

You're off to a good start.

Good luck and buy what moves you.
