New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k

Narrowing down my selection and the reference 3 a mm de capo with all the current upgrades seems to be the winner thus far. That speaker is around 3k. In the next sequence of spending upwards..we have the 3k to 6k bookshelves..im interested in what anybody has listended to that is mind blowing.

I probably would not spend that much for speakers that would be going on a bookshelf.

For stand mounted monitors, Totem Mani II are the ones I have heard that I like best.

IF you are open to NOT spending that much for bookshelf speakers I have two pair that can be had for well under $1000 that I would use on shelves if I had to.

One is my larger refurbed OHM Ls. These can be had via the OHM online store newly refurbed with modern components when available for about $500/pair. They sold for $400 a pair back in the late 70's, so adjust that for inflation for an indicator of what new speakers in the same cateory would cost today.

The other is my smaller Triangle Titus XL monitors that I bought new for about $500 in the late nineties that still sound wonderful.
