I am a huge fan of the Kaiser Chiara. I think they are $22K but are arguably the speaker I think all monitors should be measured against. Cabinet is interesting materials and is a composite sandwich of wood, fiberglass and rubber. I heard these driven by VAC amps and it is one of the best sounding speakers I have ever hear.
Raidho is also worth a listen. I haven't heard the TD1.2 yet but the old D1.2 is phenomenal. The C1.2 is also spectacular. Typical cabinet but the big thing with the Raidho's is the amazing tweeter that they produce along with amazing mid-range drivers. I think the Cs are $18K new and I am not sure how much the TD1.2s are. Placement can be a bit finicky but once you get them setup correctly, amazing detail and works really well with SS amplification.
You could look at the Focal Diablo Utopia which is a great speaker, particularly matched with Naim's high end gear. I don't know the price off hand. I have spent time with the Sopra and with the right amp, it is in the same league as the Revel and would save you a bit of money. The Utopia is better. Amp matching is really critical though. Naim is going to give you best results.
Wilson-Benesh has the Discovery II and the Endeavour. Both used carbon fiber cabinets and they have some pretty great drivers. Don't know pricing off of the Endeavour but i believe the Discovery II is ~$10K.
Check out Marten Duke 2 using amazing Accuton drivers. Wilson has the Duet IIs. Also brilliant and great with near wall placement. I would second Vivid. There are a lot of wonderful speakers.
Finally, I personally make a monitor I think is in this league as the Revels. My Blackthorn 1 is a great speaker and is well priced at $7k. Phenomenal detail with spectacular highs. Even better with the Silver Reference upgrade which uses Mundorf Silver-Gold caps at $9500. Cabinets are made from a Carbon Fiber sandwich with a magnesium composite driver and ceramic/magnesium tweeter, both from Eton. Prices are sharp because we are consumer direct. Perfect with a slightly warm amp as I typically have them matched with an 845 push pull. We do a 30 day in-home trial.
