I have a pair of Andra III's which I am currently overhauling and building new crossovers. They are fantastic and I would never sell them, however you will need a big room and big amps. They are full-range speakers and then some..lol.
I also have a pair of Fontaines and a pair of Dianes which I use in my monitor system which for volume reasons I use in my townhouse.
The Dianes are perfect for you as they are for me. Much, much better than bookshelf speakers. Partner them with a Class A amp and good pre-amp and enjoy.
Egglestons, I love them, but they do have a very slight house sound, which is perfect for me. They are untiring too.
