Best Speakers for small room under $3.5k

Cary 303 CD - Very Detailed - Fixes?
I promise you, the Shearwaters sound "blacker" than most speakers, that is, the treble is very organic sounding- not necessarily rolled off, but definately relaxed. I auditioned a pair a while back. If it were me, I would play around with cheap tw...
