Another dilemma about a right choice for best possible speaker option.

Greetings, fellows audiophiles. I am asking you for advice it’s been over 12 months since I sold my Macintosh gear including  MC 275 and C 2700 as well as the two pairs of reasonably expensive speakers. I’m currently in “compromise mode” if you will, what I mean by that, I decided to buy a good AVR receiver I end up purchasing Moranz8805, which has approximately 140 rms watts per channel . I use it with two main speakers left and right, central speaker, and subwoofer combination

I currently have old Kliptch set up which I use for many years. I am sicking an advice on a pair of good used or new -within $3000 price pair of right and left channels which I can use for mid hi-fi set up to listen to two channels music as well as a use that in my Home theater set up.
 I’m trying to upgrade from Kliptch combo. Did I mention that I really like Kliptch for the dynamic and liveliness-Nothing new here-:What I don’t like is the “brightness” of the Tribbles of my current speakers, and of the Kliptch family, in general.
I am looking for i upgrades from “ Kliptch family” to perhaps more conventional three-way speaker system with the ability to add latter matching central speaker as well.
but it must be good for two-way, listening, as well as for Home Theatre set up.as well as must be friendly to my wallet :-)

Any advice.???

Thank you

I assume you need sensitive speakers for use with an SET.  Not many options there.  

In that price range look for a used higher end full size Tekton speaker.  No better sensitive speaker out there.

Again thank you so much for both responses. I will look into potentially updating tweeters replacement as well as Tekton speakers .

any thoughts about Polk Audio I know they are a little bit less sensitive, but they have a full set of left right as well as the central speaker. They not as a dynamic, perhaps, as Kliptch . They might not be a good fit, but it’s a full set and it’s a three-way design on the right and left speaker. Again, thank you so much for your participation and advice

Also crazy idea Kliptch Forte -4 as right and left speaker, but I need idea for central speaker outside of huge heresy. And again will I have significant hearing listening fatigue from those horn speakers? Thank you

I use a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIIs (titanium mids...better than the plastic driver IVs) and they’re not fatiguing at all...I think people use crappy sounding things in front of these and then blame ’em for what basically is revealing the poor treble quality of components. Good amps, wire, and sources really make these horns shine.
