Just thinking aloud here....
If you liked the Focus, then why not try for the Legacy Whispers? Especially if you are putting them on the long wall. In spite of their eff rating, it is my understanding they work better with decent power supplies & good amps.... 200+ wpc.
Finding a pair of them for 6500 should allow you to corral a good high powered amp, like a MC602 keeping you close to your budget of $10K... but that's buying them preowned.
