KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms?

I am looking for a VERY revealing with razor-sharp imaging type of bookshelf,  but not the cost of TOTAL loss of musicality.... In other words, not necessarily full range, but at least balanced - not something that starts to roll-off at 200hz... They would be listened to mid-field, 6-7ft away in a somewhat open space.  Could it be the ls50, or is there anything else around their price-point? Thx for suggestions...

It's going to cost a bit more but it sounds like ATC SCM 11's would be the way to go. They are a completely different level of performance and well worth the extra money.

Slightly higher than your price point, but I recently heard the Dynaudio Special Forty and it sounded amazing. The imaging and musicality, both were awesome. It was in a fairly big demo room at the dealer. Another one close to your budget that baffled me at AXPONA this year was the ATOHM GT1-HD. I liked these better than the KEFs.

I own the Special Forty in grey. Very nice speaker overall. Lots of depth and refinement to the sound.
