As @soix pointed out, your suggestions and examples are all over the map. And even you admit that your experiences with the current crop of audio equipment is minimal. You are going to get a lot of good suggestions from the group, but they are going to be all over the map as well. And there are a lot of great speakers available in the $3000 to $5000 range. And until you actually listen to them, you just won't know.
So, my suggestion to you is to slow down a bit. In reading your recent posts in the different Audiogon forums, I know your are in the process of doing a full upgrade to your system. And that is both commendable and a big scary.
Your profile lists you being in NW Indiana. That puts you what, < 1 hr from downtown Chicago. I would suggest that you put together a sample of music that you know and like (CD's or on a USB drive) and make a day trip or two of visiting and listening to different speakers at the audio stores in the area. (And the Chicago area has quite a few.) I'm sure the guy is the group here can make several store recommendations to go visit.
Take notes, and figure out what you like and don't like. Then start narrowing down your list(s).
And, please, don't rely on listening to YouTube videos for how speakers sound. It just doesn't work that way. Think about it. The poster is playing music through their sytem and speakers... then recording it, maybe on a cell phone, at who knows what resolution, then it is posted to YouTube in a compressed format (256 kbs maximum AAC, I think, which is a lossy compression coding), then transmitted to you over the Internet and played back on, at best, your stereo and through YOUR speakers. How the original speakers sound is impossible to actually tell.
...just my 2 cents... (or now I guess it is 5 cents because of a tariff... lol)
