Whole reference system was stolen, now need new speakers on a low budget. Concept 50?

It's a long long story and we are still fighting insurance company over their error in the way they scheduled evertyhing. Our atty says it could be up to a year or more given the amount we are suing. Anyway, I had a pair of Focal Diablo Utopia Evo's and now I am looking to stay around 5k for speakers. The other option would be to bring my Focal Aria 926's from the office and use them and focus on getting a really good integrated amp. There are several online stores that alllow returns up to 60 days for exchanges, so I was going to order a pair of the Q Acoustic Concept 50's based on lots of reviews I have read. 

What's the everyone's thoughts on these speakers compared to the Aria 926 and what other speakers need to be on my list?  I was fortunate enough to have had my main source at a friends house, so I at least still have my Luxman D-03x. My dealer is loaning me a Rotel 1592 Mk II......and I am pretty impressed with it. 

THoughts?

The Focal Trio Be are internally triamped with about 450 watts of bespoke amplification. They are around $6000 a pair but you wouldn't need to buy an amp. You would only get these if you already have a preamp or a dac, otherwise get something like the JBL's:

This is pretty damn intriguing. I have a my Luxman D-03X and a Topping 90se. What do those Focal's sound like? I assume they aren't near field ?
