Looking for some new floor standing speakers

So I am in the market for some new floor standing speakers. I currently have Dynaudio Contour 20's, which I like,but I am looking for a bit more bass and, let's be honest, I am in the mood for something new. My current setup is a Simaudio ACE and a Cambridge Audio CXN v2, however, I have a NAD M33 on order (for weeks...). I listen to almost anything but rap and country, and just a little classical. I like Prog, New Wave, Grunge, and Jazz mostly. I've not auditioned much yet, but I'd like to get some opinions on what might be the best path or even if I should take that path :). I want to stay below $5k before trade-in and discounts.

The ones on my list to try are:
Focal 936
Revel F208
Goldenear Triton 2+
KEF R7

Love to hear any thoughts!

Here's what makes the GE Triton 1r the perfect speaker for you. If you want bass and the ability to control it, these speakers each have their own 1600 watt Class D amplifiers dedicated to controlling base. And the bass is adjustable, tight, and of high quality. What makes these speakers nice is that they have an spl of 92 db making them easy to drive, especially since the class D amps take care of the bass. This allows you to go with a low powered tube setup up front adding to the quality of sound. I'm using them with a pair of 50 w Cary Six Pack mono blocks and a Primaluna dialogue preamp. Absolutely love the sound. Prices have gone up a bit since they were introduced but you may luck out and find a used pair in your price range.
