Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)

Anyone care to give their opinion on what dynamic speaker has the most detailed/revealing midrange? Not including electrostatics or planar speakers. Approximately between the frequencies of 400Hz to 3kHz. Also, just to clarify what I mean by detail: when there is a musical passage that entails many different layers of instruments, the speakers' ability to separate all the elements so all the instruments are heard clearly and nothing is obscured. Also the ability to retrieve every last bit of information on a recording, such as random sounds in the studio, distortion in recordings and reverb tails.

As far as price goes... 2 categories... below $12,000 USD (new) and any price range. Thanks.

Good recomendation on ATC we are an ATC dealer and the speakers have a very natural midrange with good detail, not as transparent as the KEF or Paradigms but they are supremely natural and very well balanced speakers.

You can go with a set of ATC SCM 40 for $7k driven with good electronics they will astound you great dynamics, tight punchy bass and a very big soundstage.

Their is a reason that many ot the top recordings made over the last 40 years or so have been mastered or mixed on ATC.

The Lypinski were really good, I don't know if anyone sells them or they are even in business.

If you want a speaker with great midrange look at ATC, Harbeth and Dynaudio, all of these tend to sound wonderful in the midrange

Choosing a great set of speakers will come downt to what you value most and of course the pairing of electronics, source components, cabling and electronics.
