< $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp?

I’ve thought many times to disassemble my system as I move into retirement. I really do enjoy it so I’ll keep it for the time being.
I keep wondering what $3000/pr speakers would bring to the table, if any improvement? What are some better speaker recommendations < $3000 to compliment my tube amp?

My System:
_Mystere IA11 (40 wpc EL34) tube integrated amp from PrimaLuna
_Thorens TD203 turntable w/ their uni-pivot tonearm/ Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge/ Schiit Mani phono preamp
_Yamaha BDP/ Schiit Modi3 DAC
_DIY Seas Froy3 speaker kit from Madisound in 2003

Musical tastes vary from classical to classic rock, blues, jazz, and world.

Thank you,
Mike

Zu Omen 2 and Klipsch Hersey III were on my list but was thinking if I went to $3k I might do better. My amp is dead quiet now with average efficiency speakers.
I will look into Devore and Nola.
I’m slow and methodical so it will be a while before I pull the trigger on speakers.
Thank you.

Ref 3a and Tektons seems like good options too. 
GSM, a call to Zu Audio is a good suggestion.

Tektons are unusual looking speakers w their tweeter array. A little unconventional for me. Zu is a good looking speaker.

I see Ref 3a gets a lot of recommendations. Will strongly consider it.
