I'm aware of what I really want in a studio monitor. No, I really don't want them to sound like shit. When I say I want a muddy sounding speaker, I'm really saying that my current studio monitor / acoustics situation is not showing me this mud the way that I want them to. If I actually had a muddy studio monitor, I would be saying that I wanted a monitor that didn't make my mixes sound thin.
I don't care about hiss. I clean up my tracks, that's fine. My Poison "Open Up and Say Ahhh" tape had hiss. The music was not effected. (Maybe not the best example....ha ha)
I don't know if I buy this "details" argument so much, either. This makes it sound like there is secret information in music that you can only decode with X studio monitor. While I don't deny that some speakers certainly mask and smear certain things, I'm not sure if there is some magic treasure that only X brand of studio monitors can unlock.

Your best bet is somthing by Genelec.

I'm curious as to how you can make such a bold claim. If Genelec is the absolute best for me, then why do people love the Adams, DynaAudio, Tannoys, Yamaha NS-10s, etc. It seams to me that the issue of studio monitors is very much dependent on the room and depending on preferences by that engineer.
I'm not saying that Genelec's are not amazing. I've only heard one set and those were in George Massenberg's room, if my memory serves me correctly.
