I demoed the Joseph RM7si versus B&W 805, Totem Mani-2, JM lab Micro Utopia, Audio Physic (forget the mode). When I heard the Joseph I knew it was right. Your description sounds like I was looking for the same qualities as you are - detail and air and not that in-your-face sound. All of the other speakers sounded as if the music was being hurled out of the boxes at you whereas the Josephs disappeared. I ended up springing for the RM25is for the added bottom though I loved the 7.
Your choice of the Rogues is a good one. They give more for a dollar than anything else. I have a Rogue 88 that I use now with a Lamm LL2 which recently replaced a Rogue 66. I miss the warmth of the 66 but the added detail of the Lamm makes up for it. You might think of a Rogue 99 instead. I have never heard one but the review descriptions give the impression that it's worth it. Reviews on sites like this I have found to be very helpful. The descriptions almost always agree with what I hear, not that I like everything the reviewer does but the qualities are the same.
