Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K

Greetings
i’m a long time 2 channel system guy that rekindled his  interest in music and Is looking to upgrade speakers.    I just currently upgraded from a small  tube amp to a 150 W Krell amp and have really enjoyed the improved response from my  7 year old KEF LS50’s.     My favorite Brands of speakers over the years have been Maggie’s and B&W.   I have also downsized  homes and size of speaker is an issue.     Looking for the best sounding speaker for jazz and lite rock.    Attractive cabinets are important to me so I don’t like the looks of golden ear speakers..   25 years ago I loved Vandersteen speakers but they were just not attractive.

As I begin my search what would yoou suggest.   I have started looking at Monitor Audio and Salk but have not heard any.  My budget is $4K.

i appreciate your feedback.

what are the dimensions of your room?  Please define "small footprint", is that a floorstander 40" high, 7 " wide?  Or are you looking for standmounts?

thanks

Agree on the Totem Hawks and maybe a small sub.

Buy my pair of Legacy Audio Focus. Small footprint but tall.

Thanks for all of the feedback I have recieved on my first post!    I have reviewed all of the suggestions and have narrowed my choices down to the Salk Song 3 in gnurly maple with silver grey dye or the Dynaudio Special Forty in Birch gray.   At first it appeared the Dynaudio looked more like a distressed wood grey but after viewing some videos it is gorgeous.    The Special forty would provides  a smaller foot print and I have a sub woofer.  With the Song 3 I can get rid of my sub woofer.

your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
