Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair

I had the elac Navis I thought they were very good until I heard the Elac vela Which was much better In almost every aspect I’ve also listened to the Revel  126Be which were absolutely destroyed by the Elac’s.I am downsize my system from Martin Logan electrostats and quad 2905 And would like a bookshelf that would have some of the same attributes of the quads. I listen primarily to jazz and would like to stay under $10,000. (Fast transient  response, resolution/detail, musicality)
I’m driving the system with a PS audio direct stream dac directly connected to a primaLuna evo 300 Power amp. I’m thinking of switching that out possibly for a pass labs 25/30.8, or possibly a benchmark power amp.

Well, I just skimmed over this but once again I see NO mention of PMC!
Apart from the best Phase alignment using Linkwitz Riley x-over design, they employ ATL / transmission Line bass loading which cannot be surpassed by any bass reflex design. This is Physics Fact. 
I personally cannot listen to bass reflex designs any more and anyone can make a bass reflex speaker, it's child's play and old technology...

PMC have several models but for around $5K, I challenge anything that will beat the Twenty5 / 22 bookshelf. Just spend the extra on good stands and get ready to hear dynamics, resolution, tonal accuracy, and space like you never heard before.
