$2000 speaker help

I posted under the amp section and everyone agreed that I should choose speakers first.

I'm considering the B&W cm8, Paradigm Studio 60, Dali Ikon 6 Mk2, Salk Songtower QWT, and Ascend Acoustics Sierra tower.

I listen to mostly rock, jazz and electronic. Smaller room 15X20. I'll be upgrading the amp next, so I'm not sure my current amp needs to be considered. Not interested in using an additional sub.

Do you know what amp you will power them with yet or have any in mind? As you probably know some speakers need more power than others. So it would help to know the amp to give you any meaningful suggestions on speakers.

The Vandersteen's 2e that Macdadtexas said are great.

I heard the Paradigm Studio 60 and they were fantastic. They were driven by a inexpensive 50 watt Jolida tube amp. The combo sounded really good together. Those don't need much power either.

Another good one is the Dynaudio DM 3/7 floor standers right at $2000. Those would suit your musical taste in rock and electronic really well. They need more power than the Paradigms though so you might need more like 100 watt of solid state power to drive them well. I hope this helps!
