For my identically sized room the only speaker that comes close to your price that I am considering is an used Thiel 2.7. You can only get them used and they are hard to find now. The only one available for sale I see right now is up in Canada for $3300 USD. Company is out of business and there is the danger of driver replacement not being possible (need to research that).
I have about 5 speakers that I am considering at higher price points for my identical room. One is the KEF Reference 1 which is around $5K used. The new KEF R series is supposed to be similar to the Reference line and is around your price requirement brand new. I am using the KEF LS50’s right now and the R series is supposed to be much better than the LS50’s.

Oops, my mistake the R series is priced per SINGLE speaker so add $1000 MRSP to around $3K (new).
The ELAC speakers are likely similar to the KEF’s though I have not heard the latest, just the ones from 2 years ago. Which was very good.
