time for a new system...what though
Creek A50i integrated and Epos M12.2 speakers. Don't expect slammin' bass or the ultimate in detail retrieval but otherwise could meet your criteria. 
Sealed box monitor $1000
ATC SCM-7's. Similar to Harbeth, from what I've read about Harbeth, but wouldn't be surprised if you like ATC better. 
Is this the ultimate 2-way speaker design?
Vladmir, as you said "what three-way floorstanding speaker isn't compromised" is one of the most frustrating parts of this hobby (to me anyhow). You spend more and the speaker is better in some ways but worse in others. So even spending more rarel...

Cyrus amps - what do they sound like?
