I have heard, though not firsthand, the Avalon Monitor (no longer in prod) is quite good. Sweet mids and satisfying, though not exactly visceral bass. Ditto on the nod to the 3a's above. I have found my Proac Response 1sc's to be an excellent compromise between tonally coherent lower octaves and the palpable magic of the midband. If you want full-range, however, clear the room for a floorstander and get out your checkbook.
