The most tower like stand mount under $4k

The title says it all.  What's the most "tower like" (i.e. accurate, musical, full sounding, not overly revealing or clinical) standmount speakers you've ever heard new or used around $3000(ish) ?

Also, what speaker (tower or standmount) are screaming deals of value and quality at or under this price?

I want to get quality but only up to the point of diminishing returns. I'm looking to equally spread the quality across integrated, speakers, and dac.

Just looking for the group to brainstorm suggestions for me. There are next to nothing in the way of brick and mortar hifi stores near me except Best Buy.

These JA Prisms check all your boxes and come in under your price target. They reportedly offer a lot of the performance of their pricier sibling the widely-acclaimed Pulsar at a significantly lower price point, which makes it a great value in my book. There are some reviews out there you can check out for further info.

Take a look at Vandersteen VLR with Carbon tweeter. Detailed, not clinical. Very musical. $3291.

The most refined and balanced speakers under 3k I’ve heard was Amphion Argon 3s.

Most musical was probably Triangle Comete 40th Anniversary which I actually had last time, though the mid was colored and the bass needs a sub to support.
