Lipinski L505 or L707's. Add a sub if necessary and you won't need floor standers. The only way I'd ever need floorstanders again, is if I moved my system downstairs where someone may walk by and knock a monitor over. In that case floor standers may be a better choice. A good set of stands will help too.
Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging
In the past, I've had speakers that could throw an image creating an uncanny impression that, even if the image was on the hard left or right, could not be identified as coming from the drivers or even the speakers (these were Apogee Stages, Wilson W/P6s,
and Kharma 3.2s).
Do any monitors do this (at least fairly well)? (Maybe Focal Diablos, Wilson Duettes, among the big names? What about some of the smaller names mentioned frequently in the threads on monitors)?
Many speakers still make me struggle to find the sweet spot and shift from left to right to get good imaging and transparency, which can be annoying even if the tonality is fine and the sonics are fine in all other respects.
