Sweet new tube amp needs better speakers


I am trying to move up from my old Martin Logan 40"s. I recently bought a Cayin CS-55a  30 watt Integrated tube amp. It sounds really good with EL34s or the KT88s. I bought a pair of Triangle Borea Br-03 bookshelf speakers (under $500 / pair) and was Wowed by the improvement in sound. Now I want to move up. My goal is to upgrade to a set of speakers in the $2000 to $4000 price range. they should be floor standers under 43 inches tall and with a sensitivity of over 90db. I don't want them to be excessively bright and I don't plan on using a subwoofer.. We mostly listen to blues, rock and roots music (African, Brazilian  and Middle Eastern). My room is about 14 by 20 and open on the short side to the kitchen. I have been looking at Teckton Perfect Set 2- 10, Zu Omen MK II. Kef Q-950, ProAc DT-8 and the Triangle BR-09 and Gaia EZ. 

thank you in advance for any feedback and suggestions 
Tectons are 3 months out
Zu's out of stock

Devore Nines are $10,000 way over my budget , unless I can find some used ones. Great looking speaker.
We have some vinyl - preferred source - with a Pro-Ject Carbon Xpressions turntable and an Ortofon blue cartridge. A bunch of CDs, plus we do stream some stuff also via Apple lossless and an Audioengine B1 dac.
@hoytis I am interested in the KLH, I used to own some Klipschs but the horns were irritating, I have never seen the JBLl100

How about the ProAc Response  DT8? it's a low end model but I read the base is deeper on this model.

Why floor standers. I like the form factor better. I do understand that the monitors sound just as good.
Cayin is the company that make Prima Luna as well. I got the amp for $2000. my budget won't allow Mac or Ravens or Ayons
Thank you for explaining the sound of the Zu. I was considering them because I really love the way they look. I think I will back off from the Zu and get the Triangles or wait for a Tekton Perfect Set 2-10. Unless I can find some used DeVores.

I read that they are cool sounding, but I also read they had good base. I will get some more reviews . I'm not sure how to connect a sub to the amp, it doesn't have a sub output. I think there is a way to connect them with the speakers.?

So many members have recommended these. I know they are great speakers. The problem is that they are 25 inches wide and our gear would be behind them. I think it will be too crowded our room.
