what speakers to buy


so this is my 1st time posting. the question is what speakers. i am going into this blind trying to put together a decent system on a budget. i live in a city where bose is considered the high end of high end and the nearest audiophile shops are hours away.
over the years i have owned a lot of vintage gear and still collect some of it. solid state and tube. some of the tube gear was marantz, macintosh, dynaco, heathkit, radio craftsmen, pilot etc. also the usual solid state marantz, pioneer, kenwood, adcom. speakers jbl, polk, altec (model 19 and vott), paradigm, klipsch, bozak, sansui, AR, advent. all the usual suspects
so far i have purchased a copland tube pre cta-305 and a pair of rogue audio m180 amps. all mint condition all under a year old for under half price of new. i also have a denon DP-60L TT 
(with sumiko pearl cartridge)
speaker budget is around 5000 give or take a 1000. if i'm patient i think i can find something that was originally in the 12-20k price range for what i want to spend.
so far i am leaning towards ew andra ii, dali euphonia 800, canton reference 3.2, revel studio ii. size is also a factor and all of these are within that limit.
i have a fairly large area open concept living /dinning and breakfast nook with high ceilings.
and i know "dont buy without listening" but not an option
so looking for some opinions/options

after speakers i will be getting tuner, cd and music server, current interconnects and speaker wire are all ZU mission

so looks like i agreed to buy a pair of legacy signature se speakers. going to pick them up next friday. think these will fit the bill. guess next weekend i will post my impressions and whether i feel i did ok or not. i'm pretty stoked about it. thanks everyone for all the great suggestions

Very nice! Best of luck with them.
Dragonbutx, Well played ! FYI , Morrow Audio carries Legecy . I have some of their interconnects and love them . If you decide to audition new cables , call Mike and have a discussion. When I purchased mine , I was given 1/2 off and received 13 days of Break In. They take about 500 hours to mature , but WOW , are they good . My tube amp is off for repairs so I'm running SS. The cables are an improvement there also . But on my tube stereo WOW! He has a Trial Period , with Returns . PS , please post your impressions of the Legacy's and list your tube compliant. Respectfully, Mike B. 
save a bit more, or wait a bit more, whatever, until you can afford to get the XTZ Alpha, and own speakers worth over $25k for sound quality. you dont even have to thank me later!!

I like to have a budget but not target speakers in the audio-jewelry category. Marketing and spec analysis only get you so far. I am also not a huge complex crossover network guy.

Take a look at the following as some other off-the-radar options. Your amp pairing is very important here but here are some good options to check out. Email Steve @ Decware, Louis @ Omega, and Spatial to start a dialogue.

Sorry I saw this post just now. The Wavetouch Anteros are the best speakers I've ever had in my system at 1/2 the price I've spent on previous. At $2800 and a 40 day money back satisfaction guarantee you can't go wrong... They are incredible.
