Speaker decision $3000-3500...help

I have been around auditioning speakers around the $3000-3500 mark.

I am looking for speakers that are musical, open, dynamic with a hint of warmth!
I listen to Soft Rock, Pop and some House/Dance music.
Mostly multi-track and digitally amplified stuff.

I have auditioned PSB, B&W, GoldenEar and Amphions.
I was most pleased with Amphion Helium 520s, since they are very engaging and natural sounding. Jack of all trades.

If you think there are other speakers for my preferences in the price range of 3000-3500, please guide me, i will audition them as well.

Otherwise i will pull the trigger on the Amphions and will need suggestions for Amplification for them. Budget would be $1500.

Please, any advice either on speakers or amplification would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Mjmch,

I am addicted to music and sound since I was 6. I have done so much more research and tests than any other in this branche.

For me things are a lot easier to understand. It is sometimes irritating that others are so f....blind (deaf) and that they really don't know what they do.

I see a lot further in sound and music than others do. In life all people are equal. But in the world of audio in my opinion there are many F...mongols!

They give many people a low level of endresult. So F...the mongols!

I have seen many women enjoy music for the first time in their life. Because I Always try to involve women during listening.

Women have a better developed hearing than men. But....the interest in audio and music is bigger with men.

I have a female client who is 69 years old. She is listening to music on the couch. Because this is in the middel of the set. She said: when I sit here I can hear people stand in front of me like they are here in real. She has her own chair. Before they bought the set she never sit on the couch she said.

Many people in audio(mongols) do not know the properties of all the different stuff they sell.

So they are not able to use the right amps to make the best combination with a speaker.

The most common mistake with Monitor Audio in my country. I did a research for the distributer. Is that most of them sell and demo Monitor Audio with 2 dimensional amps.

In the world of Audio there are enough brands who are able to give you a 3D sound. They create a higher endresult in sound than 2 dimensional sound.

It doesn't mean that people cannot enjoy 2 dimensional sound. The intensity is different. Nothing more, nothing less.
