Best speakers for $3000


I'm looking to purchase a pair of towers 
I listen to mostly r&b soul rap and blurs/jazz I have a emotiva xpa 200 to power them

Unless your room emphasizes bass, I don't think you are going to be happy with the speakers listed above for the kind of music you listen to.  They are designed to be more neutral, which, IMO, does not lend itself well to home reproduction of rap and soul.  Anyway that's my opinion.
You should check out the Klipsch RF7 or the Cerwin Vega speakers on Amazon, which I think are more suited to what you're doing.  Also, look at Axiom speakers, available on the web direct.  I think they're very nice and will work out better for you in the end.  
Here is a list of speakers I researched here on the ’Gon 2nd which you can pick up around your price point..

I think the Focal Utopia, Vandys or Legacy Focus HD’s would be the best choice for your musical taste. If you’d mentioned classical or chamber music, I would have said the LV’s or Harbeths.
I second the Legacy Focus HD for your taste in music. No subwoofer needed, very efficient, lots of slam and energy.
Thanks charo but those are horrible speakers and I'm not just a punk kid who wants to blast out their neighbors I mainly listen to rhythm and blues , jazz and blues I like soulful music I have been looking at the zu audio speakers but have yet to hear any
