Best high end monitors?
I feel like a broken record, but SP Technology Timepiece 3.0 - You may not even need the subs with these. 
Best room treatment
I'm using panels from GIK with excellent results. 
2-way speaker with best bass
I've been feeding my 3.0s with a pair of Channel Islands D-200s. I don't have a tube pre (Sim Audio P-5LE), but I have a nice tube CD player and lots of vinyl. Things are sounding great so far. 
2-way speaker with best bass
I've said it before and I'll say it again, but take a good look at the SP Technology Timepiece 3.0 
It's 2008, what speakers deserve recognition.
SP Technology Timepiece 3.0's 
Best of RMAF 2008
I'm pretty sure the Spectron amps were powering speakers by SP Technology. 
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
SP Technology 
studio equipment that makes it into home hifi
If you're looking for a studio monitor with living room looks, and a sound to die for, look no further than the SP Technology Timepiece 3.0 
What has been your most satisfying component?
I have to say it's been my SP Technology 3.0 speakers. I can now honestly stand up and say "I've heard it all". 
My speakers don't "dissapear"
I suggest you look into some room treatments (I use GIK panels) to tame first reflection areas and bass traps for room corners. It's a small price to pay for big sound. 
SP Tech Timepiece 3.0-Dynaudio C1 comparison?
I can't remember the brand (I did a google search for metal speaker stands), but they're 24" high and each stand has 4 columns which I filled with lead shot. I think I paid around $250 for them. 
My speakers don't "dissapear"
I had the same problem with my Mini Utopias. I tried everything, but still couldn't get it right. The Focals can be a bit on the shrill side, so that might have had something to do with it. I bought a pair of SP Tech Timepiece 3.0's and I wouldn't... 
SP Tech Timepiece 3.0-Dynaudio C1 comparison?
I'm still thoroughly enjoying my 3.0's three months in. They just sound "right". Nothing hyped or emphasized. Just pure musical enjoyment. It's really a shame that this company doesn't get more publicity. 
Time to change. But to what?
You can add SP Technology to your list. I have the Timepiece 3.0 and I'm done looking for speakers. 
Best all around speakers
I'll give a plug for SP Technology speakers. Good enough that you could even do mastering work on them. It's all going to be about waveguide technology before too long.
