Most “disappeared” speakers.

When you get a chance try this. Blind fold yourself and have someone guide you towards a dynamic speaker. You will know right away when you are right on top of it. Do the same for any full range ESL and you will walk right into the speaker. 

I bought a pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethovens, rosewood finish, store demos from tweeter around 2004 and 10 years later I decided to upgrade my speakers and sold the VA's first were the R107/2, then the F52's then the salon 1's then the VA strauss then the salon 2's then the usher be-20 dmd's...and finally I went back to a used pair of VA Beethoven's! All the speakers did some things better but at the end of my search for the holy grail of loudspeakers I found out I was really lucky when I stumbled onto the beethovens.

Nice, give a listen to vimberg mimo and other model...i dont think you can find better for 30k. He has a bookshelf that isnt completed yet, coming out...its already pre sold its first run. 

very true about ESL's.  one way around dynamic point sourcing is by using multiple active speakers.  4 beolab 3's with a beolab 2 work extremely well in this regard in one of my rooms.  not so easy or achievable with passive speakers, unless they are hybrids with some ESL component

Electrostats combined with a good sub - sublime. 

OB’s, aka Open Baffles, aka speakers w/o a box design. Combined with 2 subs and a low watt tube amp, very tough to beat for quality sound on a reasonable budget.
