I had some tekton 6.5t monitors on rigid stands with good punch and sound. I also tried some Tekton mini lores, not for me as they were too refined with no punch.

I still stand by my ProAc studio 148 recommendation, which I am using in my main setup now with soundocity sev9 outriggers (another strong recommendation). After 9 months of use (ProAcs take a while to break in) I believe my 148s sounded like the used ProAc studio 125s I had in my room for a while but the 148s have much better bottom end with the 2.5 way design. The 125 / 148 sound just gets rock and many other musical components like single and double reeds, drums and cymbals, etc so very right, plus the classic rock midrange while listening to floyd and similar bands has been mentioned in many reviews.
