Many people suggest the one make or model they like, but I would watch this thread with interest to see if there is any consensus among those who have heard many contenders. I cannot make specific recommendations because I have not engaged in comparative listening for many years, but just trying to be helpful, I can see two directions for you.
(1) The first is to go with British brands such as ATC, Harbeth, Proac, Spendor.
(2) The second would be highly regarded newcomers like Salk, Silverline, Tyler, Zu.
The best sound for the money is often a used model, but some of these makes are so thinly distributed that the used market is practically non-existent.
It would help to know your listning tastes, room, what speakers you have now, etc.
