Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock?


polling all ears (subjective I suppose) but would like to hear you people who have heard fairly high end speaker that kick ass in clarity for mostly Rock/ Fusion Jazz at high volumes with killer clean power .

I currently have a :
Marantz PM-11S1 Integrated amp
SVS SB-1000 Sub
NHT 2.3 Towers
Technics SL15

Klipsch/Paradigm/Infinity/B&W/Dynaudio/PSB ???

I am 95% progressive rock, prog metal, classic rock and jazz/fusion. Pretty much all vinyl too.....I have a set of Rega RX5 ($2995), 2.5 way that has a very singular sound, drivers work very well together. In metal the drums and bass guitar play such big roles in that big sound. The double kick by Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Transatlantic) has never sounded better and defined. And these speakers play very loud and clear....89dB and side firing woofer to help control too much bass.
These are voiced real nice for vocals and acoustic guitar which makes for excellent jazz experience.

I power these with a NAD C356BEE @ 80 wpc, very satisfying.
