Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget

Hello! I have a  McIntosh MA7900 integrated amp @ 200 w.p.c. since you already have a preamp a MC2200 Mac amp w/ 200 w.p.c. would be nice pick up one for $3,500 or so. Any of the older Mac stuff is good if it's been serviced. My living room's kind of small so best fit for me are the JBL L-100T's  with upgraded crossovers which you can buy on line from the crossover guy. I prefer the sound of these to the more popular JBL L-100's and you can pick up a nice pair for about $2,000. If you have a larger room the JBL4333 studio monitors are just great or their home theater equivlent L-300's , they have a cool glass top. They may need refoaming , rework crossovers or a re-cap but they sound fantastic , cost about $4,000=$5,000. Have fun.

One speaker not mentioned is the Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G. Stereophile Class A rated, Absolute Sound, HI-Fi News, Soundstage, and about any other magazine who listened to them gave them highest reviews and 'Best of ...' awards. My first thought when I heard them were "This is what JBL's should sound like". Same dynamics and punch, but much better balance, tighter more extended bass than any Klipsch and better imaging. The dual rear ports allow a fair amount of bass tuning for your room, and the bulid quality is way above the price point. At $3200 a pair, the Sterophile reviewer thought that was a typo, that they were $3200 each, and a bargain at that price. I also drive mine with an Adcom MOSFET or Marantz amp, they're not a difficult load for 4 Ohm happy amps, and 100 W is just fine. Honestly, I'd have to go well north of $10K per pair into Wilson-land for even incremental improvement.

Your very, very, very best value in that price range is a used set of the Linkwitz Orion system - open baffle loudspeakers, active crossover and amplification.  Typically priced at $3000 - $5000.  It's an insane value.  They image well and sound good everywhere in the room.  You don't have to cement yourself into the sweet spot to enjoy great sound.

They are especially good on voices, acoustic piano and acoustic instruments.  They have terrific power handling and can do full orchestral levels in large rooms.

Sounds like you want punchy rock speakers - but refined. JBL 1400 Arrays will do that, a used pair may just fit with your requirements. 

To get the job done I would recommend Tekton Moabs with Wyred 4 Sound SX 1000R's and a preamp of your choice. Not the most congenial speaker brand but there is real independent thinking in the design. You might also like the GR Research Brute/Bully with Benchmark Audio AHB2 amp(s) and their whole suite. 

Notice these are all tariff resistant choices.
