Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature System speakers were my personal choice at about 5K/pr. I think these are superb performers at their price point and far beyond. Used you can find them for 4K/pr. or less.
In the used catagory I would also look at the Merlin VSM MX Floorstanders, the Dali Helicon 800s, the Ayon Butterflies (these are also in your range new), and if you get lucky and find a heavily reduced used pair of McIntosh XRT-28s (these go for 18K/pr. new), they are incredible.
