Floorstanding towers


I'm currently in the market for some new towers and have a few I'm looking at but am open to suggestions. I have my ways on the monitor audio bronze or silver series and the Martin Logan motion 40. I have also heard and like paradigm monitor series speakers. They will be paired with a parasound halo integrated and vinyl as well as streamed music will be the main source of sound. im open to ideas on other speakers in the 2-3k range for the pair.

You could narrow things down quite a bit by defining your "flavor" preference. For example, I have am a detail/clarity/sparkle fan who loves female vocals. I like a speaker that some others would consider bright; but actually measures very linear. I have Canton 3-way bass reflex towers and Boston Acoustic 3-way acoustic suspension mini towers. 
While shopping for the Cantons last year I auditioned in reverse order of preference Golden Ear Triton 7s, SVS Ultra, Elac not sure of the model, I think it was an older European one, and SVS Prime. The Prime was very nice to my ears. Of course, many people love a rounder, softer sound signature without sharp edges. And the U shaped response curve is still very popular. What's your favorite flavor?

The closest Canton model currently available to the used ones I bought is the Ergo 690. They can be had new for $2,800 a pair.

If I hadn't found such a good deal on the Cantons; I was very interested in Tekton.
