Looking for Speakers circa 2K

After almost 20 satisfying years with some stand-mounted Paradigm Studio 40 v2s, I want to see if I can make a significant speaker upgrade without spending a ton of money.  I am running a McIntosh C41 preamp, MC202 Amp and all my digital inputs go through a Chord Qutest DAC.  I also use a decent ML sub.  My living room is pretty small 13' x 19'.  Speakers are 10 ft apart and the listening chair is about 13' from my two-channel system.
I am thinking of monitors on stands again, although I would consider small towers.  I really prize soundstage, clarity and dynamics.  I listen to a lot of dense percussion and acoustic music - Afro-Cuban folkloric music, Americana, jazz...

There are no real hifi stores here (Spokane WA) so I am hoping you can lead me in the right direction.  Thanks in advance, David.

If I were looking in your price range, I would have these on my list.

The open box deal is particularly appealing. These were the flavor of the month, not long ago. Now, dealers are dumping them!. Perfect time to grab a pair. I'm thinking a pair of the floorstanders for the New Year.

Speakers, in particular are a subjective,contentious topic.
