You should add SALK Veracity 3's to the list also. I do not own them, but i had the pleasure of hearing them at the designer/builder's home and they are quite impressive -- especially for under $5k.
Incredible cabinetry, ribbon tweet, magnesium mid, & perhaps the best non-powered bass I have ever heard from the non assuming-looking 10" aluminum woofers.
I believe they were voted "best of show" at one of the Rocky Mountain Audio shows also.
Definitely worth looking into and auditioning if possible. Also see the excellent review here @ the 'Gon.
