Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k


Hello to all. it's been a long time since i posted but some bad luck has me scrambling to put a temporary system together. was planning on upgrading my rig next year but lost my amp and speakers days apart right before Christmas (ML-432 and Aerial 7B's). both piece's were old/due for upgradeing, but i wasn't ready for them to go belly up  so soon and at almost the same time.

will not have the time or funds to venture into the HiFi rabbit hole until summer/2021 at the earliest. probably more like fall 2021. and once i do start the journey, it'll take some time to research/listen and execute the new setup. i need something to hold me over for 6-12 months at least.

so far i've grabbed an Adcom GFA 575se for dirt cheap. went with the 575 because...
A: it's modestly priced mid-fi 
B: plenty of power to drive whatever speakers i end up getting (350wpc/8ohm  450wpc/4ohm)
C: have a soft spot for Adcom from back in the day/my first real amp and it lasted forever.

now i need a set of speakers that will work decently with 575se. would like to stay in the $2-$3k range. prefer new but would be willing to consider something relatively new but pre-owned,or demo's (nothing old/vintage please). do have a Velodyne DD12 sub but would much prefer to ditch it in favor of full range speakers that put out good/tight/controlled bass. will use this gear (Adcom and TBD speakers) to replace my current living room system after i get around to building my REAL listening room setup next year.

what i would like....
floor standers for Rock/Jazz/Alt music
somewhat high listening levels
prefer musical/easy to listen to speakers. nothing that could be fatiguing
Need something ASAP.....don't have the time to shop around/research/listen etc.... just need something that works well enough for now/6-12 months.

front end being used will be my ancient (in digital terms) PSA Perfect Wave Dac MKII and Perfect Wave Transport. these two piece's will also get relegated to my living room after i  do the real upgrade next year. listen to mostly streamed music with a considerable amount of Hi Res files. do have plenty of hi quality cables and my listening room has been sound treated well. i'm good in that department

just need a decent set of speakers to fill the gap until i'm ready to get on the hifi hamster wheel again =)

look forward to hearing your thoughts

realized i left out one important detail in my quest while checking out some of the great suggestions here (thanks to all).

would much prefer speakers that can be bi-wired. love my accoustic zen santori's but they are shotguns....thus the bi-wired preference. not an outright deal breaker but would like to keep using them if at all possible.

also...can now stretch to $4k-ish if need be.
I’ve been using the same cables you have for years so I understand.  There’s a demo pair of Usher Mini Dancer 2 with diamond tweeters for $2950 on eBay that may just end up being keepers.  
Soix3: glad somebody understands =). the Santori Shotguns turned out to be "the missing link" when i put my last system together (ML 436/Aerial 7B's and PSA PWD2/PWT). they took me from great sounds to unbelievably great sound (to my ears) about 10 years ago. have been thrilled with my system ever since and haven't changed a single thing. having new terminals put on them right now, while i wait for my speakers (see below). no clue if they'll have the same synergy with this new equipment.... but i'm going to confirm/make sure before ever not using them. hoping they match up nicely with the new gear

thanks to all for the suggestions/help. just made a deal on a used pair of Sonus Faber Sonnetto 8's. decided to put more weight on appearance vs sound quality. these speakers will end up in the living room down the road where they'll need to look good way more often the sound good. read some decent reviews on them and they look fantastic imho. they fell within budget too.  should have everything together/setup by weeks end. have gone almost three weeks without  any hi quality audio (something i enjoy nightly). am slowly losing my mind and counting the days now.
Those Sonus Faber Sonnetto 8 look pretty impressive.  Made in Italy.  Up to 300 watts handling, 4 ohms rated, 36 - 25,000 Hz, and a retail of $6500.  When you've had some time with them, please update us on how they sound with the Adcom!
