Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders??


Like to know if there is a monitor, (even a larger monitor than bookshelf) that can compete with high quality floor standers across the board. I realize that bass response will always be problematic, for example, one 6 inch woofer in a monitor versus two or three 5 inch woofers in a floor stander which will produce better bass, and upper midrange

I could spend $2500-$2700 for such a monitor and stands used or new. I am not particularly interested in using a subwoofer. Smoothness, wide soundstaging, precise imaging and overall musicality are very important characteristics of such a "monitor" Thanks

Revel M106 are an excellent speaker.... I run them full range with a sub that has a steep low pass X Over. Even with the sub off they have decent bass, tight and tunefull. With the sub (REL R305) I have a system that sounds way more expensive than it is..... Friends and family are blown away by this compact combo. The Revels were my last upgrade for a while with my daughter going to college in the fall and they are such a great speaker I'm sure I can live with them for the next four or five years. Amazing sound, although not cheap worth every penny.
