Even though it is not one of the choices offered, I would agree with the Escalante Design Pinyons. They are incredible, even though they went through a price increase in November 2006.
I own a pair of Pinyons, and am always blown away by the amount of detail, air, space, timbre, and dynamics that they possess. You can check my other threads for additional details; and yes, I also own a pair of the "mega monitors", the Escalante Design Fremonts. I thoroughly enjoy listening to both systems (in different rooms).
The Pinyons are so good, so fast, and pull so much detail from the music that I will soon be placing my former references, the Apogee Duettas, into storage...something that I would not have conceived of doing just a couple of years ago.
