Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker

I have a pair of Spica TC50's (crossover recapped). I'd like to hear your opinions of what you all think is the best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker. I will always own my Spica's but I also own a pair of Apogee Centaur Majors. I simply haven't found a speaker that images as well and sounds as natural as the TC50's. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

+1 @ doggiehowser. The Soundfield m1 uses the kef coax uniq driver augmented with an 8" powered long throw subwoofer. They are the best imaging speakers I have heard under $5000 and cost a fraction of that.

Stirling ls3/5a v2. Nothing I've ever heard creates a realistic image of musicians in a performance space like these do. They are also sensitive to all kinds of fun tweaking with cables, tubes, stands (particularly) and they yield a variety of imaging solutions. They keep me pinned to my listening chair.
