If you're wanting speakers with textbook measurements, and all the typical audiophile wow factors, Revel, Focal Utopia, B&W 800s and the like will deliver as good as any.
If you want end game speakers that you won't grow tired of 3 years from now, look toward the British brands such as Spendor, ProAC, and ATC, but consider Vandersteen as well. These speakers don't have the cabinet bedazzling, or over-hyped material buzzwords. What they do have is realistic PRaT and the ability to let you listen for hours with zero fatigue. These brands have the musicality factor that so many others forego in their quest for chest thumping bass and "look what I can do" dynamics.
Focal, Revel, Golden Ear and similar ilk are like a hot and wild girlfriend. They're great fun for a while, but not the ones you want to settle down with for the long haul.
