Speaker help under $2,500


Hi,  
I am looking for a set of speaker suggestion around $2,500.  I like to listen to vocal like Spanish Harlem.  Other electronic gears will purchase later but differentially will do tubes.

Best Regards,
Eddy

Hello,  Mostly will be floorstand.  But if monitors sound better I then will do monitors.  

Thank you,
Spencer,  I was thinking a used Audio Research tube amp and preamp but not sure which model yet.
Thank you Spencer.  I will take a look at them.  What do you think about Sonus Faber Venere 2.5?  

Best Regards,

ctsooner,  

It was my mistake I told my wife that I really want Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 before I posted the question here and did not talk to her regarding speaker after that.  So I was looking to get a used Vandersteens 3 and told my wife about it and she told me that my brand new Verene 2.5 is at her work and it will be my Christmas present.  I don't know what to tell her.  I really want used Vandersteens 3 now.  So I guess I will stuck with it for awhile and sure will try to get it of it soon and then will get Vandersteens for sure.  Very sad for Christmas present this year that I DON'T want it...what can I do... Just have to pretend that I like it.  :(   

By the way, Thank you so much for all inputs here.  Specially Big Thank you to Spence (sbank) for all the help and educated me.  Merry Christmas everyone.
Thank you very much everyone for your posted.  Learned a lot from your guys.  Happy new year everyone.  
By the way, been breaking in Venere 2.5 about 10 hrs now.  First listening sound so bright and hope the brightness will come down.  

ctsooner, I am just okay with it since my mind was set as this is not a really good speaker as I should do Vandersteens.  As Stereo5 wrote "However, if you listen to the speakers with the attitude you are heartbroken about not getting the Vandersteens, then you will not like them. Keep an open mind."   It is so TRUE.  
The brightness of my Venere 2.5 is less and seem to get better some how.  
I just sold my amp so I can not listen to the music until I can get an amp or integrated amp.  I am still waiting for some used one to show up here.
