2way speakers

What are the best two way speakers out there?

The b&w 805 d3 is one I'm interested in but not yet heard.

I've heard kef ls50, it was too bright no bass. I heard Psi audio. Not impressed 
Vivid v1.5. No bass.

Years ago I heard revel m20. This was a really impressive speaker but I wouldn't want to buy that now as it's an old model and there should be even better ones?

I was also impressed by the b&w nautilus 800 I heard again, many years ago. But, that's a floorstander so not suitable. 

The Wilson benesch arcs also sounded pretty nice but not completely neutral.

So what do all these have in common?

I'd recommend looking at an MTM design with 6 inch or larger woofers.  A couple of 6 1/2 inch MTM's will move the air of a 10 inch woofer and still give you the midrange performance of a 2 way. 

An excellent MTM is a very nice speaker.  Sorry,  no recommendations, I build my own stuff, but I'm sure a few people seeing this will have a couple of solid recommendations

I have the 805s and they are pretty amazing. Definitely a totally different league than the LS50. It’s probably better to compare them to the Focal Sopra 1 or KEF Reference 1.
