Replacing everything - Speaker Recommendation Request - Under $3,000. With music....

Hi all:

I'm in the process of replacing my current system (Jolida 1501, Onix Rocket RS750), starting with speakers.  I play FLAC or GPM through my PC to a DAC.  

Looking for something that isn't real bright, under $3,000 and would be good with a mix of music including, but not limited to:

Portishead, Yes, Pantera, 2Pac, the Beatles, Al Di Meola, SRV, Pink Floyd, Tool, Kate Bush, etc.  And lots of progressive rock....  :-) 

Only weird issue:  my desk faces the speakers. I have 2 large PC monitors on the desk.  Because of the placement, I can only really hear the speaker on the right (because there's a monitor that blocks the left speaker).  Wondering if there's a speaker that would help with this "spatial?" issue?  

Thank you all!

Maybe Larsen?  

Before you spend money, might try your PMC's facing the ceiling, to reduce the discrepancy between the left and right channels.   Tonal balance will probably be off because they're not designed to be used like this, but it might give you a useful data point.

I have experimented with up-facing speakers but don't have any currently in production.   Something that uses a coaxial is a possibility.
