< $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp?

I’ve thought many times to disassemble my system as I move into retirement. I really do enjoy it so I’ll keep it for the time being.
I keep wondering what $3000/pr speakers would bring to the table, if any improvement? What are some better speaker recommendations < $3000 to compliment my tube amp?

My System:
_Mystere IA11 (40 wpc EL34) tube integrated amp from PrimaLuna
_Thorens TD203 turntable w/ their uni-pivot tonearm/ Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge/ Schiit Mani phono preamp
_Yamaha BDP/ Schiit Modi3 DAC
_DIY Seas Froy3 speaker kit from Madisound in 2003

Musical tastes vary from classical to classic rock, blues, jazz, and world.

Thank you,
Mike

Yep, Ref 3A speakers are special, IME.  I have owned four different models over the years, and still have a pair of the De Capo i's on hand.  Your Primaluna would like them!
