Speakers for ambient music

Maybe a curious question, but if you are a big fan of athmospheric ambient music (like myself), do you know if there are any speakers (models or brands) that are especially good for this kind of music? I like many genres, and I guess I have good allround speakers (Tannoy Precision 6.2), but if you were to invest in really good speakers for ambient music, which would it be?
Not saying that I at this stage will change my excellent Tannoy set, but at some point... who knows? I spend so much time deep listening to Steve Roach etc.

Interestingly I also use Tannoy speakers. I have the Tannoy Mercury floor standers. They are excellent for ambient but also for all the Prog Rock and EM I listen to. A very good all rounder I have found. I have been thinking about upgrading my main Hi-Fi however I am a bit reluctant as it still sounds great, despite being approaching 20 years old.

Tannoy, a good Scottish company btw 8) , were bought over years ago and fizzled out. Some of the original Tannoy people have started up Fynne audio, speakers look amazing . Have not heard them yet and they are expensive but food for thought.

As said I am reluctant to change at the moment but will keep an eye on the HiFi press, as ever.

Thanks for answers. Maybe the Tannoy speakers are all I need. At that price they should do the job for most genres. :-)
Fyne Audio and Geithain looks great. Thanks for the info.
