Rockport Atria II's.
At the high end of your range, but I think they do really well for what you're after. I find them to be exceptionally accurate, but without venturing into sounding clinical - more "musical" (admittedly a hard to define term). Voices come through with warmth, without sounding colored (Joni Mitchell's "Blue" sounds amazing, and IMO it's a hard recording to reproduce well). Jazz records have a very nice spaciousness and sound stage, with live recordings sounding like they are really live, more than just a live recording ("Ahmad Jamal's Alhambra" is a great example).

I have mine paired with a Nagra Classic INT integrated amp. Extremely happy with the combination.
