Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich

I really like my ATC Scm7s that I use at my desk but I want something warmer, richer more bassy. Something that does well with vocals and jazz.

Budget is $5000. They are being driven by arc ref5se and pass x350.8, dac is denafrips terminator. Thanks.

There's some good threads on tube rolling ARC preamps. I don't think you need to change your speakers.
