Best speakers for $3000


I'm looking to purchase a pair of towers 
I listen to mostly r&b soul rap and blurs/jazz I have a emotiva xpa 200 to power them 
trrevell
Sonus Faber Toy Tower!!!WAY under your budget & worth EVERY penny of $3000.00!!!
Unless your room emphasizes bass, I don't think you are going to be happy with the speakers listed above for the kind of music you listen to.  They are designed to be more neutral, which, IMO, does not lend itself well to home reproduction of rap and soul.  Anyway that's my opinion.
You should check out the Klipsch RF7 or the Cerwin Vega speakers on Amazon, which I think are more suited to what you're doing.  Also, look at Axiom speakers, available on the web direct.  I think they're very nice and will work out better for you in the end.  
Here is a list of speakers I researched here on the ’Gon 2nd which you can pick up around your price point..

I think the Focal Utopia, Vandys or Legacy Focus HD’s would be the best choice for your musical taste. If you’d mentioned classical or chamber music, I would have said the LV’s or Harbeths.
