I would look at the Spendor S8e if your room is not too large and do not require live playback levels. Use the leftover money for room treatments like ASC tube traps.
You might consider Vandersteen Quatros at $6995/pair + $595 for the required high-pass filters. They will work in any room with their 300 watt built-in active subwoofers which feature room compensation adjustments. They are a fantastic bargain!
