Speakers to consider around 5k used?

I'm a newbie to the high quality world of audio. I'm interested in getting a decent system together. I'm looking for the highest quality speaker in the 4-6k range used. My listening habits are eclectic. Primarily Electronic, Rock/Pop, Classical/Soundtrack, and Traditional/Folk. My room size is an average sized USA house living room. I don't want a speaker that is overly detailed or bright that leads to harshness or fatigue, neither one that is too warm or veiled. I want a neutral speaker that is realistic and true to source without being difficult to listen to, especially in the highs. I am starting with the speakers, and have no other hi-fi equipment. However, I'm considering a network DAC player for my source.

What speakers should I be looking at and which are the best in this range available?

Thanks

Maybe check out Von Schweikert speakers as well. They would meet your criteria.

Since you are thinking used and could get a more recent edition in the range you are looking at.

Or you might consider the VR-33, which is sold direct from Von Schweikert, with a trial period. Factory direct eliminates the middle man's markup. An advantage of these is that they are designed to be close to a wall, and won't need to be as out in the room as many other options in this price range will (Maggies especially, I am told).
