I meant a good, solid functional return on the hardware investment, w/o
extra cost for prestige, mystique, etc.

Define "cost-effective".
If you mean "cheap", I doubt if there are any cheap accurate speakers.
If you mean "expensive but justified by results and by time not wasted"
then there are several. The Quad electrostatic speakers are certainly
accurate, for example - but they are expensive, and work best with well
designed high power amplifiers, in a large room.
