Best high end monitors?

I'm considering monitors for a 2 channel setup (to be paired with a couple subs - probably JL Audio Fathom 113's).

Looking for suggestions on brands/models to consider. I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly rock and jazz. I'm looking for large soundstage, detailed with with meat on the bones.

I don't have a set budget, but wouldn't go as high as Magico Minis or anything crazy.

Thanks in advance.

Jp1208 I am not sure I agree with your statement about Ty's new line being more transparent. Ty seems to think it is a litte warmer. Maybe a tad but not much.

The D3 will be my next speaker along with a sub.

I interpreted your description wrong and I understand what you mean now. Transparency does not always mean brightness. I can't stand brightness. IMO I consider most Thiels on the bright side. You might want to give Ty a call and discuss. He is very helpful. I have heard his whole line except for the Decades. He didn't have any of them finished when I visited his business last. I did see the D2's. I like the look and considered them but I have to have a smaller speaker. Wish I had the funds for a dedicated listening room so I could get a larger floorstander. Goodluck in your search.

Ty's speakers like tubes Jp1208. When I finally introduced tubes in my system a few years ago I realized what I had been missing.
