"I'm looking for a very 3D soundstage that's velvety smooth. Detail is great, but definitely nothing fatiguing as I tend to listen at higher volumes for extended periods. While I do listen to a lot of Classic Rock and Jazz, I also listen to a lot of more modern music. I want something that isn't going to make this stuff sound terrible."
You may want to rethink your approach on all of this. Generally speaking, as price goes up, detail and resolution usually follow. A "better" speaker for you maybe something less expensive. Also, if you tend to listen to loud music, a SS amp may be a better choice. A big speaker, even if its efficient, still needs a decent amount of power if you want to play them loud.
