I've owned the same Dynaudio speakers 3 times. I always end up going back to them after trying other monitors for extended periods of time. Read the review of the Excite on the Stereophile site and give them serious consideration. I have the Audience 52se as my primary speaker in my office system, which I'm pretty sure is the earlier incarnation of the now Excite model.
I'll say this about Dynaudio speakers and you can trust me on this...they take FOREVER to settle in. If you end up buying new ones, don't even evaluate them until they have played constantly for a week or more. Each pair I've had has tried my patience to the point of thinking I got a defective pair before they finally started singing.
