Looking for some new floor standing speakers

So I am in the market for some new floor standing speakers. I currently have Dynaudio Contour 20's, which I like,but I am looking for a bit more bass and, let's be honest, I am in the mood for something new. My current setup is a Simaudio ACE and a Cambridge Audio CXN v2, however, I have a NAD M33 on order (for weeks...). I listen to almost anything but rap and country, and just a little classical. I like Prog, New Wave, Grunge, and Jazz mostly. I've not auditioned much yet, but I'd like to get some opinions on what might be the best path or even if I should take that path :). I want to stay below $5k before trade-in and discounts.

The ones on my list to try are:
Focal 936
Revel F208
Goldenear Triton 2+
KEF R7

Love to hear any thoughts!

I’m wondering if larger Totems would sound good with your range of listening. How loud do you like to go? Or is tone more in consideration?
I have totems, but am currently auditioning some used Quad Z3’s. And wow, they sound good with everything I’m throwing at them. And that’s with an integrated (however, I’m mostly a jazz listener). GREAT tweeter, sound wonderful even in my relatively small living rooom.
You could even get the Z4’s well within your budget, which had even greater reviews (I think).
