what speakers to buy


so this is my 1st time posting. the question is what speakers. i am going into this blind trying to put together a decent system on a budget. i live in a city where bose is considered the high end of high end and the nearest audiophile shops are hours away.
over the years i have owned a lot of vintage gear and still collect some of it. solid state and tube. some of the tube gear was marantz, macintosh, dynaco, heathkit, radio craftsmen, pilot etc. also the usual solid state marantz, pioneer, kenwood, adcom. speakers jbl, polk, altec (model 19 and vott), paradigm, klipsch, bozak, sansui, AR, advent. all the usual suspects
so far i have purchased a copland tube pre cta-305 and a pair of rogue audio m180 amps. all mint condition all under a year old for under half price of new. i also have a denon DP-60L TT 
(with sumiko pearl cartridge)
speaker budget is around 5000 give or take a 1000. if i'm patient i think i can find something that was originally in the 12-20k price range for what i want to spend.
so far i am leaning towards ew andra ii, dali euphonia 800, canton reference 3.2, revel studio ii. size is also a factor and all of these are within that limit.
i have a fairly large area open concept living /dinning and breakfast nook with high ceilings.
and i know "dont buy without listening" but not an option
so looking for some opinions/options

after speakers i will be getting tuner, cd and music server, current interconnects and speaker wire are all ZU mission

My vote, of course, would be the Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S speakers and pocket the difference from your budgeted funds.  Revel F208's would be in play too and are stunning in appearance.  I'd urge an audio of the SA speakers... open baffle speakers perform in a way that box speakers can't.   Just my two-cents worth.  Lots of great recommendations from the folks about, no question.   
Here are some suggestions that have not been mentioned yet:

1. Audio Physic Avanti V 
2. Aerial Model 9's
3. Rockport Mira I (The last pair sold on Audiogon went for $4700!)

Others have mentioned the Wilson Sophia II and Eggleston Works Andra.  Amplifier matching notwithstanding, the are both good choices.  My first choice would be the Rockports though a little hard to find.
A second for the excellent Avanti Vs. I think (memory fails at this point) the Andras went lower.

No, I haven't heard the Reference model. I think GoldenEar are pretty good speakers for the money they're asking, but their entire line sans the Reference model largely targets Focal's 900 series line. My rubs with the GoldenEar products are their tendency to vertically comb a bit and the nature of AMT tweeters in general. AMT's are extremely flat way up into the rafters of their range and that adds an unnatural, though ear-popping, sparkle to them, regardless of how well behaved they are. They tend to be more forward sounding and that leads to them leaning the highs further forward than the midrange. Lastly, I don't find their dispersion to live up to the technical claims. Finding the balance with AMT's between depth and width is a much more difficult struggle than it is with other transducers. Beyond all of that, the Focal 936 is widely noted for it's brutal transparency and sensitivity to nuances in music and gear; a fact that attracted me. It also measures extremely well. And finally, the width, depth, and accuracy of the 936's imaging is absolutely top notch at any price. Much of that has to do with the tweeter producing a better integrated sound with the midrange; a point where GoldenEar's do have struggles. 
And you want to tell me that their Reference, which uses yet another AMT, competently competes with Focal's 1000 series, Sopra, and Utopia lines? I'm not ready to buy that jazz. AMT's are great drivers, to a point. I probably won't own another pair until I hear a pair that are less directional than the many pairs I've already owned and heard. That's the main reason I own Focals. 
The Focal 900 series is decent but I could see many people choosing GE and other similarly priced offerings from the usual suspects like Revel and Dynaudio over them. We stopped carrying them at the shop for just that reason but I was sad to see the 1000 series and up go. The AMTs in ELAC and Audiovector sound fantastic. I went from Focal 1008 BE to Audiovector SR1 Avantgarde Arete and it was the better speaker overall.
