Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)

Anyone care to give their opinion on what dynamic speaker has the most detailed/revealing midrange? Not including electrostatics or planar speakers. Approximately between the frequencies of 400Hz to 3kHz. Also, just to clarify what I mean by detail: when there is a musical passage that entails many different layers of instruments, the speakers' ability to separate all the elements so all the instruments are heard clearly and nothing is obscured. Also the ability to retrieve every last bit of information on a recording, such as random sounds in the studio, distortion in recordings and reverb tails.

As far as price goes... 2 categories... below $12,000 USD (new) and any price range. Thanks.

Look for speakers that use drivers that are actually pistonic throughout the midrange (and treble, too).  Price no object, Vandy 5 and 7mkii, as well as most of the Vivid Audio stuff.  

It is likely that the new Paradigms with the beryllium midrange are pistonic, but I'm not sure (and haven't heard them...they seem to bit a bit divisive based on comments I've seen here).
