If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers

Would be helpful if you shared what speaker/sound characteristics you’re looking for, but here’s a list in order where I’d go.  I’m going over your limit — sorry I just can’t help myself.  It’s like a kid in a candy store-like thing. 
 

Joseph Audio
Alta Audio

Acora

Gershman (always a surprising standout to me)

Volti

Rockport

Vandersteen (if you haven’t heard them before I’d bump them up a couple spaces)

YG

Von Schweikert 

PMC

Perlisten

MBL 

Dutch & Dutch

I’d also recommend giving at least a look at the Treehaus speakers — they look very unique and natural (you’ll see what i mean) and also thought they sounded quite good.  Im jealous and wish I could go, but hope this helps and enjoy the show!!!

Verity

Devore (Gibbon)

Cessaro (never heard in that low price range but want to)

Fyne (own currently)

Rockport (probably used in this range)

Everyone and their brother will list many combinations but each of the above does something special in my own opinion so your mileage will vary.

Magnepan

Vandersteen

Volti Audio

PS Audio

Martin

Devore Fidelity

Salk

@soix I had the Gershman monitor and it was terrible. A subwoofer trying to make sense of midrange is dull. At first listen it was relaxing and I was waiting for a transformation but it never happened. Are you speaking of their next levels? Maybe with 100k of Nordost cables it would sound more lively.
