Speaker suggestions under 4k

Well here it is. I sold my Tekton Double Impacts and my Lyngdorf 2170 a while back. I thought it sounded very good! I was getting out of audio and wasn't listening much anymore. Well..... now winter is here, I'm bored and have the itch to get something descent again. 
I like rock/metal/bluegrass/ acoustic/ some country. I need impact and good midbass and low fatigue. I have a Crown DCI 4/300 and a upgraded Jolida Fusion preamp at the moment. Plenty of power for almost anything. 

My biggest pet peeve is cabinets that start talking at high levels or when the sound hardens at high levels. 

Willing to drive up to 300miles 1 way for the right deal and I am in West Mi. A little older does not bother me at all. I've just started looking and a few I've been eying are:
Aerial LR5 or Model 9
Dali MS4
LSA 20 statements (new)
KEF 205/2
Dynaudio Focus 360

Any others anyone feels I should keep an eye out for in this price range? 

Thanks

@mofojo,

I have only had the JBL speakers hooked up for less than a day so I can’t comment yet.  I have had the Triton Ones since January 2015 so I am very familiar with the sound.  Only time will tell which pair I like better.

You might be surprised I have 3.7i in a 12 x 15 room and they sound amazing I previously had the 1.7 which were also great. As long as you can get them about 36" out from the wall you're all set.

I second the Dali choice. I got my Sonus Fabre Sonetto VIIIs for $4k, they sound INCREDIBLE, but that’s a hard deal to beat.

Thanks,

I've thought about checking out Salk for years. I should plan a trip over there and try and work it into a work trip soon.
