Hi there - try out the Bache Audio Sonata-Ex-2 - he is a member here. Have enjoyed them for a couple years. Great guy to deal with!!
Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!!
This is ANOTHER what speaker should I buy. But here is the thing. I might have a speaker problem......
I currently own the following speakers: Dynaudio Evoke 50s (my main room) driven by Prima Luna, Watkins Gen 4 (secondary room) driven by Cary amp, Harbeth P3ESR (office) driven by retro Grant Fidelity tube amp, and Wharfedale Evo 4.2 (home theater) driven by an NAD AVR. If you ask my wife that's about seven too many speakers.
BUT
I have a new large room, lots of glass, 10' ceilings, and have to use an NAD 3050 amplifier. Speakers have to sit on a bookshelf, have a wood or white finish, and most importantly be interesting!
SO...
with a $5,000 top end (and goal to be half of that) tell me what you buy.

As for Audiotroy's comments, the alta audio alyssa is not 87.5 dB as specified but a full 6 dB lower than that at 81.5 dB and has an EDPR ( a measure of speaker impedance that takes electrical phase shift into equation) that drops to 1 ohm in a number of places. https://www.stereophile.com/content/alta-audio-alyssa-loudspeaker-measurements |
Forgot to mention the Usher Dancer Mini X. Beautiful, front ported, well within your budget at $3500 (and this seller offers a 10% discount and a 30-day return policy), and they use the same proprietary in-house designed/manufactured diamond tweeter as in their $40k flagship speakers. Usher offers incredible quality/$. https://soundapproach.com/usher-dancer-mini-x-7-2-way-diamond-bookshelf-speakers-pair.html |
