PSB Gold (or Goldi) in combination with ARAGON 8008BB.
(I also use a VELODYNE HGS-15 for the lowest octave;
i.e. 20 - 40 Hz, electronically crossed-over in the SONY
TAE-E9000ES pre/pro w/Version 2.01 upgrade, but the Golds'
are flat down to 35 Hz [- 1 db], so a subwoofer is not essential,
but does add something if the source has deep, deep bass).
Extremely neutral and smooth, yet detailed presentation.
Mondial (maker of ARAGON) has great customer support;
both ARAGON and PSB Golds are a great value - new and especially used.
