$6000 budget question

Im not in the market for speakers, but wonder what $6000 would buy these days. My priorities are full range and neutral to warm. No mini monitors for me. I like a good soundstage but am not obsessed by it. I rarely get imaging beyond my speakers, and I think it's highly dependent on the recording, if the lights are on, if I'm wearing my glasses and if I've had some wine/bourbon/scotch

My dislikes are hyper detail at the expense of tonality. I've heard too many highly regarded speakers that were all detail.

I happen to like my Revel F30's quite a bit but after 14 years of wining them, I'm curious.

Suggestions?

If I had the room, I already would have purchased the Pioneer S-1EX's listed for sale elsewhere on this site ($5,000).

are you pokin fun at me? i am too dry to notice sometimes. but yes, actually i really think most of it is snake oil and it gets worse the higher up you go in this business. sure you could get incredible results for huge investments but 95% of us will never have that amount of dough and room to spend on a system to recreate a live performance. maybe i am a blasphemer for saying this on this site. luckily audiophiles are not a vengeful and violent breed.
