Perhaps I'm the wrong person to make this suggestion, but I have not encountered a B&W speaker that I like. I find B&W to be dry and lifeless. I don't know if you'd consider that "accurate", but if I had my pick, Paradigm Studio 100 is an easy choice.

I'd have to seriously look at and hear the Vandersteen 2Ce Signature IIs. http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/107vandy/

I recently purchased the Vandersteen 2Ce Signature II speakers after comparing them with both the Paradigm Studio 100 and the B&W 804. It was an easy choice. Hunt down the Vandersteens and give them a listen.

I tend to agree with AlexO about B&W. I've been a Paradigm fan for years. I haven't heard the Vandersteens, but will likewise recommend an audition, since they are a tried-and-true design that is very highly regarded.

I sure like my Vandersteens, and would recommend them. I've heard the B&W's long ago (that model, I think) and liked them fine, but preferred the Vandy's. No personal exper. w Paradigms tho.
