@laxfan you may not like my recommendation not in the way of speakers but in the way of speaker/setup synergy.
I'd suggest you take your time with speaker/room coupling first Not getting that right can make or break a speaker's sound in room regardless of how great they're. the room influences a massive section of the frequency response responsible for grooves, slam, grunt, head banging bass and rich fundamental tones for many instruments. Certain frequencies becoming nulls in your room as a result of your placement of the speakers can lead to a good speaker sounding lifeless and changing to another speaker won't fix that.
Anyway, nothwithstanding, get a pair of these - Perlisten S7T
