Best imaging stand mounted speakers?


If you're an imaging freak like me you've probably done all the leg work to narrow down your choices of the best. I would be grateful to have the benefit of your research as, alas, I live in an "audio wasteland" and don't have any way to audition the really good stuff. Please let me know which speakers ended up at the top of your list. Many thanks.

This would be a good choice:

JM Reynaud Trentes. I just sold my Nautilus 805 (which image extremely well). The little-known Trentes are super.
check out the Jean Marie Reynaud website for some gushing reviews...
Seandtaylor99, thanks for your observations. No offense taken concerning your recommendations about placement. As far as price is concerned I'd like to stay in the range of $2500 new or about $1200 used. The speakers would be set up in nearfield listening conditions and driven by a Pass Aleph 30 for starters. I would change the amp if necessary.I mostly listen to show music, classical, opera, female pop (i. e.- Eva Cassidy, Ella), folk, soft rock...no heavy metal. Thanks to all for suggestions offered so far.
Thanks Beemerrider. I'd have thought in that price range you'd have to consider the AudioPhysic Steps. Not that I have heard them, but I have read glowing testimony to their imaging ability, and they're from the same company as the Virgo. Another speaker that I haven't heard but would be the absolute top of my demo list is the Harbeth Compact 7, which is Harbeths latest incarnation of a BBC monitor design. Have fun shopping for toys ... I think it's a good buyers market in that price range.
Listen to Seandtaylor...positioning is everything in regard to imaging...no speaker...regardless of price...sounds good buried against a wall...in fact...you can improve most speakers by simply "bringing them into the room"...for the majority...this alone is an upgrade...
