Help me spend $6000

I’m looking to get the best bang for the dollar. My amp is the Pass Labs INT-25. I listen to a lot of jazz,folk,classic rock,and funk. 
Floor-stander or monitor is fine. Prefer new, but I’m open to used. I’m looking for a detailed presentation, but not bright. I also prefer a thick midrange. 

Room is a bonus room with knee walls with carpet and bookshelves everywhere, but not officially treated. I sit near field.

Either I haven't had coffee yet or this is plain weird.

Seriously, if you like Klipsch sound, then the Cornwall would be good.  They are wide though.  I  have Crites Cornscala.  Potential to sound even better than Cornwall with Dean Wescott crossover. That would cost ~$3000 for speakers and crossovers

Other good choices: 

Volti Razz efficient and beautiful craftsmanship.

Fritz easy to drive monitor.

NOTE:  I have XA25.  Very compatible with lots of speakers but not difficult to drive ones. 

Good luck and ignore grumps.

Ok so I just purchased a pair of Marten Oscar Duo stand mounts. 

Everyone can disregard this post. Thx for the comments.

I don't believe you mentioned what kind of sound you have now and what sound you want to achieve.  The T5's are pretty small.  You might like the SALK Song3 Encores.  They sound really great playing jazz.
