Default Accord Vibration

Hello. I just bought a 2006 Honda Accord, EXL, V6 Sedan, 60K Miles, Automatic Transmission.
It was a one owner vehicle, well maintained.
Unfortunately I am experiencing a vibration problem.

At idle and at slow speeds, there is NO vibration and the vehicle accelerates smoothly with plenty of power.

When Im accelerating between 40 to 65 mph, I feel a vibration in the steering wheel and throughout the front of the vehicle start to occur.

(I would describe it as a "tight vibration.")
The steering wheel does not shimmy, the car still feels "tight" - but there is a very noticeable vibration in the front end - steering wheel, seat, basically in the front of the car.

The vibration is not just during acceleration but is present when coasting at speed also (60 - 70 mph.)
I have driven at speed on the highway and put the car in neutral, (60 - 70 mph) and the vibration does not go away.

I have had the tires balanced and done a 4 wheel alignment on the car - and also had in inspected at my local Honda dealer.
I have not had a Honda tech drive it while I was in the car yet.
Which I think will be my next step.

My question, where should I start trying to figure out the solution?
Bad tire?
Inner CV joint?
Transmission issue?
(The trans feels good and shifts well, always.)

Thank you.
