Since you loved your Dunlavys and I'm pretty sure they had 1st-order crossovers, that may be something to look for in your next speaker. The crossover design/build quality probably has as much to do with the sound of a speaker within your room's boundaries than the enclosure type/driver array etc..
If you are curious abount the Thiels mentioned above I think you can buy them from Crutchfield.com and try them for 30-days risk-free in your own listening room. Can't go wrong with that!
