What to buy?

Hi: I'm looking for a good pair of floor standing speakers but I don't know anything and I'm hoping for suggestions here.  I've been considering Martin Logan Electromotion, Goldenear Triton 3+ and Revel F35. I can raise about $2,000 in a month. The room is 20 x 20, the music is mostly rock. The amp is an Emotiva XPR5 which has respectable power. I don't mind something good that's maybe been superseded, trailing edge, a floor model or demo - but something you can't argue with at the price.

Thanks - rev

I’ve listen to the LS 50 and R500 and for the Classical music I listen to, there is
a significant jump up with R500 .

Somehow, you need to change the dimensions of your room. Having a square room, you’re already starting wrong from the gate.

Because of the high sensitivity of the Klipsch  Cornwalls ( 102dB @ 2.83V / 1m ) and Klipsch Forte III (99dB @ 2.83V / 1m), I usually associate them with lower power amplifiers primarily of the tube variety.  Since the OP  Emotiva XPR5 is 400wpc, I wonder how well efficient speakers perform with above average powered amps.
