Best speakers for max. $3000?


  I would like to upgrade to some new speakers and I might have a maximum of $3000 to spend if all goes well.
I don't care if they are new or used but my real world experience is limited so I am asking the experts!   I know it is subjective.
  I have Mirage OM-7s now with a HSU sub.  My amp is a Bryston 100B SST.  
Also, I have a chance to buy a set of Thiel CS 2.4s. I plan to try them.   Thanks for any advice!

I'm plugging my paid listing here only because the Spatial M3 Turbo S came up in a few posts. Mine (as-new pair) are for sale for well below retail, if you think they're right match for your system. Check the listings.
@bajaed , 
An amp with 100wpc should be fine for just about any Vandy speaker.
I have never heard a Rogue, and would be interested in hearing your impressions.
+2 for Vandersteen.
From the 1's to the 3a sig's. And, don't discount the VLR bookshelf speaker, either. (I have the VLR's mounted near the ceiling corners and a pair of HSU subs. Though not as refined as my Treo's, it really is a nice pairing).
If you do opt for the 1's, adding a subwoofer or two should be within your budget, especially if you buy used.

I've done a lot of demos and nothing and I mean NOTHING comes close to the Tekton DI at 3k. 
No one should advise you on speakers. De gustibus...They all vary so much that you should get out there and listen, with your own software.
