Those are all great suggestions (I've heard 'em all!), but after a very long search, I settled with Ohm Walsh series. I have the MicroWalsh Tall, but if your room is larger, than you might go for the 100 Mk2. These are excellent speakers - mid-range purity (no crossover until 8k), absolutely boxless sound, natural tonal balance, big sweet spot, easy to place, great customer service - factory direct: upgrades, trade-ups, no store/distributor mark-up... Just call them up and they'll advise you on which model will work for you. With a 4 month trial period it's worth a try - order a pair and while you have them, audition everything you can.

Other suggestions would be Magnepan 1.6, GMA Europa, Vandersteen 2ce. Also Von Schweikerts are nice, give thes a try, but it all depends on you.
