I'm a fan of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers (+$12K).
They employ a beryllium diaphragm that has a Kapton surround- and thus the midrange driver has no breakups until 35Khz. It runs from 500Hz in my speakers to 12KHz. The driver is also field-coil powered so it has speed like an ESL, and for the same reason- when current is applied to the voice coil, the magnetic field does not respond in kind by getting weaker as in permanent magnets. So its faster and more revealing, while at the same time very smooth since there are no breakups.
The larger Classic Audio Loudspeaker (T1) has the midrange horn going down to 250Hz. This is possible due to the Kapton surround.
