Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
The best imaging I've heard so far was on a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Encores and the Fidelios. The width, depth and layering of the soundstage could be absolutely amazing with these speakers. Don't know the secret, perhaps it's the use of ver... 
Speakers that sing
I would second the Sonus Faber Cremona and Verity Audio Fidelio recommndations. Both are excellent designs with the Cremona having an edge in terms of dynamics and the Fidelios being unsurpassed with vocals due to their elecrostatic-like midrange ...

Platinum Audio Solos-vs-Tyler Ref Monitor
The Solos are one of the best mini monitors I have ever heard. They always amazed me with their deep and tight bass, superb imaging and overall musicality. However, they are not easy to set up and must be driven by carefully matched electronics to...
