Best imaging stand mounted speakers?

If you're an imaging freak like me you've probably done all the leg work to narrow down your choices of the best. I would be grateful to have the benefit of your research as, alas, I live in an "audio wasteland" and don't have any way to audition the really good stuff. Please let me know which speakers ended up at the top of your list. Many thanks.

You gave no price range ... if cost is a concern then a good pair of used Spica Tc-60s might be just the ticket. About $450 used inc stands.
I expect that you're aware that to image well the speakers must be quite well out into the room, at least 2 feet from the rear wall (that goes for all speakers I have ever heard). Please don't think that I'm trying to patronise you, but I see so many people buy expensive speakers that image really well and then throw all of the money away by pushing them up against the rear wall (usually due to WAF concerns).

Thanks Beemerrider. I'd have thought in that price range you'd have to consider the AudioPhysic Steps. Not that I have heard them, but I have read glowing testimony to their imaging ability, and they're from the same company as the Virgo. Another speaker that I haven't heard but would be the absolute top of my demo list is the Harbeth Compact 7, which is Harbeths latest incarnation of a BBC monitor design. Have fun shopping for toys ... I think it's a good buyers market in that price range.
