With a $5,000 budget and a medium powered amp - here is my suggestion - go with a Maggie 1.7i or smaller ($2,200 or less for smaller models) and then go with a multiple sub system for the bottom end ( self powered subs should not run over $3000).
the imaging and sound stage and high end clarity will blow you away.
just my two cents. I have been a Maggie user for over 30 years and I am still amazed how revealing a speaker they are. Every time I have upgraded something in my system ( source, amp, preamp, Cables, I hear the difference.
