I agree with triodesteve. I have Abbys in the living room (because of the high WAF), and Coincident Partial Eclipses in my listening room. The Abbys don't have the detail and range of the PE's, but they do a lot of things well. They're musical and fun to listen to, and actually do have a lot of detail for a single driver in this price range. They are also the least directional speakers I have owned--they sound good everywhere in the room and beyond.
Two things I would recommend, though. One is try the 'nearfield' version with the Fostex FF165K, rather than the standard version with the F166E. Mine came standard, but I switched to the 165's and I found them much better. Second, give the Fostex's a lot of time to break in; mine sounded like a bad radio out of the box, but were different speakers after a hundred hours or so.
