I'm in the same boat and have been browsing a little bit for the past few months to see what surfaces on the market. I am planning to attend a few shows later this year and pay particular attentions to speakers.
Currently some that have peaked my interests are:
Magico Q5 or S5;
Raidho
YG Acoustics
Vienna Acoustics Klimmt the Music
Tidal
Some are based on previous personal experiences at various shows, some are based on rave reviews from Asian Audio Magazine reviews.
I am currently using a pair of Verity Parsifal Encores. My music taste is all over the map. Although I primarily listen to Classic Jazz. My biggest desire is probably in the bass region, to be able to "feel the impact of that music" to the bones without sacrificing the details in the upper octaves. On paper, either Q5 and S5 seem to reach the deepest in that regard. But like others said, being able to listen to them in person is the best way to judge.
