Best all around speakers I've heard in the past 30 years are JBL 708P ($4000/pair MSRP, 2-way active monitors). Very dynamic, room filling, detailed with good imaging, and of course no amplifier needed. F3 = 41 Hz, 114 dB maximum output. They have built-in DACs and DSP adjustments, so best fed from a AES/EBU digital source. These are serious professional monitors and are hard to ignore when playing but pure enough not to be fatiguing. They also employ controlled directivity design to reduce room interactions.
