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.

Have had a lot of great speakers over the years from JBL (4312,4311b) Snell (K2, A3i, C4,C5) Omega (Compact Hemp, Alnico 6 Monitor, Alnico XRS 8, all paired with Deep Hemp Subs) Shelby and Kroll monitors and subs, and various project OB speakers.
The best most engaging midrange, highs, and bass I have ever experienced are the Charney Audio Tractrix Horns. I own a pair of Maestro with Omega RS7 drivers that sound great with SS and tube amps.
At your price point the Companion Voxativ AC 2.6 would be the way to go!

 If your in the PA, NJ, NY, CT region it would be very worth your while to stop by and audition a pair. Beautiful works of art that deliver in sound quality and leave all box speakers in the dust!
