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!

1:Elevate monitors.
2:Speakers-Single driver,Omega,Air Tight or Blumenstein..Multi Driver-Dynaudio Excite X14(ports plugged),Dali Minet & Minuet SE..
3:Proper small stands..
Place speakers as far apart ON DESK as possible aimed to meet just behind listening position...
Move the speakers behind you...Honestly until you sort out the placement issue nothing is going to sound good,well headphones aren't a bad solution...
