Stuff I've heard recently that I've been very impressed w/include Amphion and ATC. I heard the Amphion Argon2 monitors vs. PMC monitors, and preferred the Amphions. I'd definitely check out their floorstanders -- there is the Creon and another model. Notably open midrange.

Have become a huge believer in ATC active speakers -- tremendous transparency. I'd seek out their passive models for a listen. I'm also a VMPS owner/fan, but they might be hard to audition in the UK.

From both a value and absolute standpoint, I've not found B&W to my taste.
