Help me spend $6000

I’m looking to get the best bang for the dollar. My amp is the Pass Labs INT-25. I listen to a lot of jazz,folk,classic rock,and funk. 
Floor-stander or monitor is fine. Prefer new, but I’m open to used. I’m looking for a detailed presentation, but not bright. I also prefer a thick midrange. 

Room is a bonus room with knee walls with carpet and bookshelves everywhere, but not officially treated. I sit near field.

Sell everything but the the roon core and get some Kef LS 60s. You could add a couple of subwoofers as well.

I had a pass integrated 60 and now a 250. I found that Dynaudio speakers would give you what you are looking for. I  used special 40’s for both amps. Wonderful full mids good bass and detailed without a hint of brightness. My Kef LS metas were not bad either, but I reserve them for my tube amp.

Are you looking for ideas or just killing time?

The INT 25 means you should find 8ohm speakers

with a 90+ sensitivity rating. If you sit near field

the room means less. Come to our club's event

August 27th and audition 16 speakers. Standmounts

all under $3k. With your budget you could buy two pair.

The BMRs are one of the 16.
