Need Advice on stand mounted speakers


I have recently sold a pair of Thiel 2.3, which I loved though thought they were a little too forward/bright. Am now considering replacing them with a pair of stand mounted speakers. My personal preference in music is that I tend to like more forward speakers with tight bass. Most important is that the speakers have to be unveiled. Am considering the Revel M20 and need some more suggestions. Looking in the $2000 to $2500 MSRP range. Any opinions out there folks??

ae-2's are marvelous stand mounters. great imaging, mid's and high's and they go much lower than you might expect. unfortunately, you'll likely need to find a used pair. they don't makem' anymore. (bad choice, IMHO, by ae's new owners.)
Can't go wrong with the ProAc's.All of their models sound so musical.The tablettes are a great value.
