Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000

I am intersted in auditioning loudspeakers witha cost at or below $4,000 (new, not used). Associated equipment: Wadia 850 CD player, Linn Klout power amp. Room size 18 x 26 x 10. Music: mostly accoustic jazz. Current speakers: Magneplanar 3.6 R's: Wife can't live with them; I want to continue living with wife. Ideally, I would like to match the 3.6 R's sound, with "better" low bass. Any suggestions? Thanks for your thoughts.

I concur with sdcampbell about the Vandersteen 3a Signature's. For the money you can't beat them. This can be said for most of the Vandersteen line up. I have owned Thiel, Martin Logan, and Aerial. Every time I think I've found better than my Vandy's I have been mistaken upon further indepth listening. I started out with Vandersteen 2ce's and I have run the gambit of high performance speakers and I have returned to the Vandy 3a signatures. And I am happy I did. Regards, thestryder

I've read and heard wonderful things about the Talon Khite loudspeakers.

KEF Model 3, either plano 3 or 3-2, <$3.6K. lAST FOREVER, even in abusive relationship ie too loud. Speaking or abusive, never allow your wife to dictate audio decisions, buy her her own system, let her rule everything else, but godammit be a man and and buy big and ugly if it f g sounds good....here me.....Best wishes!
