If you can find them, the original:
Avalon Monitors
These were made in solid walnut in the late 90's (?), not the same speaker that Avalon markets as their current Avalon Monitor now. They have the same front baffling as all Avalon models. They are very rare, as they were somwhere around $4 or $5K in their day. They sounded great, sound-staged wonderfully and bolted into stands that were specifically designed for these monitors. Their port fired downward rather than from the back of the cabinet, so they had the ability to be placed close to walls.
