2k$ speakers that meet my criteria?

I have been doing a lot of research and thought I might as well see if I can get some direct answers.

I am looking for a speaker with some sweetness (a little) and texture and is very involving in the sound signature. As in musical - not analytical or neutral/dry. Also timbre accurate bass. Without the "one note" bass.

I also put I high value on a large 3d soundstage (it is more involving to me). As well as dynamics.
Placement should not be a HUGE concern. (I want to be able to get comfortable and not loose the sweet spot if I move a few inches)

Bonus points go to those who would match other components to it that would help achieve the sound I am looking for.

I want something that can convey the emotional content and musical/harmonic content of the music.

Thank you all,
Sam

Honestly, everyone is just out here recommending their favorites, I'm just following their steps. And unless you've heard the Carbon 7's, you really can't say I'm out of line. They fit EXACTLY what the OP is looking for.

You will also find a number of accounts of the most recent AK Fest praising the Fritz speakers. They were a highlight of the show for me.

can't let this go without mention of the joseph audio line, (biased opinion of course-my faves) with the right electronics meet all the OP's criteria.

Incredibly dynamic and easy to place. Awesome midrange, detailed but never fatiguing treble, and bass clean and articulate down to 35 Hz. And because they are easy to place, you can play with them close to a wall and get better bass response without losing anything. Great value for the money. I have a review here on Audiogon - my best electronics with the monitors was the Rowland Concentra integrated amplifier.

A note on "dynamic." You state it as one of your goals. Some see "dynamic" as ability to play loudly and softly with equal ability. That's not far off, especially for electronics, but for speakers I would add the ability to not break up. Many speakers can play softly and get louder, but drive them too hard and they lose it. The Tyler's do not lose it. In my opinion this is a very oft-unmentioned quality when people describe loudspeakers and a very important one.
