I'm going to take a risk here. The Tektons have gotten off on the wrong foot on this forum so a lot of people hate them and normally I don't dare post anything about them...But it is Christmas and I hope people are feeling charitable.
Since you obviously aren't afraid of big speakers the Tekton Ulfbehrt is a candidate in your price range. the 4 way design is very accurate and with the array of drivers for upper mids just makes vocals spectacular. Spring for the $2k for crossover upgrade or better yet I know a guy who has done several upgrades and will instll for you (if he isn't too busy building custom tube amps). I did mine myself and the new components were so large I moved the crossover outside the speaker. I spent $3k. But crossovers are a big deal and the dirty little secret of speakers under $50k is they they use mediocre components in their crossovers and now that I've done it I recognize some of the qualities you hear in extremely high end speakers are the better crossovers. Because guys like me started upgrading crossovers, Tekton now offers it.
Finally, the Tekton is extremely flat and accurate from top to bottom so it will faithfully put into the room whatever your quality electronics send it. Many expensive speakers tend to be a bit harsh on the high frequencies because their target market is affluent individuals, most of whom are older and have lost hearing in the uppper ranges.
Best of luck and Merry Christmas,
