Best high end monitors?

I'm considering monitors for a 2 channel setup (to be paired with a couple subs - probably JL Audio Fathom 113's).

Looking for suggestions on brands/models to consider. I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly rock and jazz. I'm looking for large soundstage, detailed with with meat on the bones.

I don't have a set budget, but wouldn't go as high as Magico Minis or anything crazy.

Thanks in advance.

I've been into this whole audiophile thing for over a decade ... and by far the best monitor i've heard has been the timepiece 3.0 from SP Tech. Nothing even came close to it.

You should probably try the Ushers to satisfy your curiosity. Also, i would add the new Tyler Decade 3 and Decade 4 monitors to your list. I would normally recommend the Merlin TSM's, but I'm not sure they would be the best choice with your amp.

Cruz, why would the Tyler's work but the Merlin's may not?
Have you heard both in your system? I am looking at Tyler Decade D3's but I have not seen any review or posts about them until now. All I know is that the new Tyler is supposed to be much more transparent than the older design. Not as warm sounding. Thanks.

Jp1208 I am not sure I agree with your statement about Ty's new line being more transparent. Ty seems to think it is a litte warmer. Maybe a tad but not much.
