John Atkinson has written a paper about speaker measurements:
http://www.stereophile.com/reference/99/index.html
http://www.stereophile.com/reference/100/index.html
http://www.stereophile.com/reference/103/index.html
Just now I would not know a speaker that would correspond to the criteria I mentioned, at least not in the consumer range. What you always can do is browse the archives of Stereophile, look at the graphs of speakers in a price range you envisage, take the best-measuring of those and listen at short distance. You then have no or few first reflections and possibly no too strong a reverberation field.
The graph shows nicely how the lateral response should NOT look like.
