Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? .

I have owned a pair of the Wharfdale Denton 80the Anniversary monitors for over a year. It is truly an amazing and musical sounding speaker.  However, I have identified a few of its flaws: need for a more extended midrange and a greater dynamic range.  I thought this might be accomplished by a 3 way stand speaker that uses a quality midrange driver and can handle more power

Would like recommendations  for a 3 way monitor that possess the same texture and musicality of the Denton's, but offers more detail and depth in the midrange. Can be brands other than Wharfdale   Thank you

 To  meadow man,   Thanks for the recommendation. I did consider the Bryston middle T speakers before I even bought the Dentons, but they climbed to over 3K. Even used, they are expensive.  I don't think I considered mini T, unless I am confusing the two Bryston speaker models

To noromance, Thanks for the tip, but can you explain what speaker on e-bay you are referencing??

Apologies if the link is borked. A pair of Spendor SP2 for around $500. 2 way but very nice. I have a pair of SP2/2 which are better and worth seeking out in the $600-$800 range.

If you want fabulous well developed midrange, there's a pair of rega rs-3 for sale in the used gear section.  This is a 2.5 way, simple crossover between tweeter (19mm so not overpowering) and midrange, and a bass driver naturally blended without filter.  I have a pair of rs-5, and they are the best uncolored midrange i have had in my house so far.  I would definitely check that out.
