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.

Can you compare 1D Monitor Audio GX100 vs 6D Dynaudio Focus 160? I don't care what D is it, if it's too revealing, it ain't a good speakers for music, right? To connect to the music, we need E(Emotion) D lol
I've try to drive a pairs of Dynaudio Focus 110 using Class D Audio power amp SDS-400C, with amazing results, a little speakers can become so powerful if you give them enough clean quality and quantity of power, but not all speakers benefit from more power, some traditional designed speakers suffer from too much power, it just cannot go beyond certain dynamic level, but clean power does contribute better on transparency
