Speaker recommendation

I’m looking to buy a speaker in the $4000-5000 range. I was very impressed with the GoldenEar Trton 1 speaker I heard at a friend’s house, and I know the Tekton DI is very well thought of on this forum.
 I listen to mostly classical music, some Diana Krall and the like, and also big band music.
Any other suggestions?

What would they be replacing?  What aspects of your current ones are you chiefly aiming to improve on?

I now have Dalquist DQ 20 speakers modified by Regnar. What is lacking is deep bass and precise imaging, especially front to back, which is non-existent.
 Otherwise, I love them. Very tonally musical.  
After I heard the Triton 1 I realized what I was missing.

So bass and soundstaging, right?

I think you were impressed by those powered woofers.  Personally, I believe for the classical music you listen to you need a more subtle and sophisticated speaker than GE.

Have you thought about PSB T3's?  Vandersteen?  Revel?
