Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components


Hi all,

This is my 1st post here.
I'm a long time audio enthusiast and even worked in high-end audio sales for a few years a while back, but I've been out of the loop for a few years now. I'm looking now for a new pair of speakers in the 5-6K$ range to replace my current Merlin TSM. The type I'm looking for is a 2 way 6-6.5'' speaker, preferably a floorstander. I know many brands and models and went through a lot of speakers in the past, so my question is a technical one:

I'm looking only for speakers in this range which use high end componenets. which ones are there?

I've already done some research, so here are a few examples of what I mean:

Proac in its response range is using Scanspeak D2604 tweeter (48$/unit).
PMC in its "i" series - Seas 27TFFC (45$/unit).
Spendor, "A" series - Seas 29TFF/W (52$/unit).

I can go on and also bring examples of the woofers used and more speaker brands, but I think the picture is clear. These are all quality units of well acclaimed manufacturers, but are by no means high-end units. Which are?
My research brought me this far to the following (All in my price range):

Kudos audio Super 10/Super20: Seas T29CF-002 tweeter (330$/unit) + a version of Seas W18NX (196$/unit)

Marten Form Floor: Accuton C173-6-095 woofer (over 300$/unit) + a ribbon tweeter I was unable to recognize (anyone?)

Merlin VSM (as second hand only): Dynaudio D330/A tweeter (over 400$ per unit) + Scanspeak 18W/8545-01 (173$/unit).

BTW, my current Merlin TSM is using Morel MDT30 tweeter (80$/unit) + Morel MW166 woofer (124$/unit) and sounds wonderful to my taste, despite a considerable lack of bass (being a sealed- box design). 

So, given all that, does anyone have any more ideas for speakers I should consider?

To elaborate on a theme by Dgarretson, why not buy speakers that sound good, and improve the crossovers? Retain the same values, but use better components, especially caps.

It’s a rare crossover that can’t be vastly improved for $500 in parts. I did this for a neighbour a few years ago - he had some nice bookshelf speakers and was thinking of upgrading, but to improve the sound had to spend thousands. I suggested upgrading the two crossovers, $1000, and the result was spectacular. Night and day.

Because for doing such a thing you need to really now what you’re doing or you’ll end up seriously screwing up your speakers. I’m no engineer, electrician or even a DIYer. Maybe someday... Not there yet.
You may want to take a look at smaller companies. 
Vapor Audio , Salk Sound,  and Selah Audio all make fantastic speakers with top of the line drivers with real world prices as they sell direct. Check out their websites and more info on AudioCircle if you are interested.  
Another small company to look at is Chapman Audio Systems.  The T-5 is a 3-way (I know you were looking for a 2-way) floorstander within your budget that is very well worth checking out.
Gershman speakers were a new find that impressed the heck out of me at Capital Audiofest this year.
