Speakers with lowest THD

I have a pair of Velodyne DF-661 speakers. These were sold in the mid 1990s for a very short time, and then discontinued due to bad reviews from press. The main design goal was to achieve the lowest distortion possible in a driver. You can read all about this speaker on the stereophile review. They list the amazing distortion numbers on the first page:

Yes, these speakers have their problems with a slightly nasaly midrange and a subdued midbass. But the lack of distortion makes them sound absolutely crystal clear.

Since Im so used to listening to the DF-661, I demand my next pair of speakers has similar performance distortion wise. It is a requirement...

Has anybody out there been able to top these distortion measurements? Are there any speakers out there with similar design goals, being able to have incredibly low distortion throughout the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th orders?
