EV and Really true older Klipsch may be a rendundant suggestion. Klipsch used EV drivers on their oldest Heritage Series types and may have had them OEMed for the later ones. What surprises me is that the question mentions KLH, Advent, and AR all of which have a polite prentation then EV whichi s notoriously bright and then classic Infinity which used hard to Drive but forward sounding speakers some of which even had electrostatic drivers such as emits and emims which have great clarity. What "sound"style is your true objective.
I Second the IMF-Fried BTW. They made some great Transmission Lines. KEF was still more English sounding even though Bud Fried was working in their group. When Bud really had his say Fried (IMF) went in a different direction. But, you might want to check out some older KEF it seems like they might suit you.
