Speaker suggestions under 4k


Well here it is. I sold my Tekton Double Impacts and my Lyngdorf 2170 a while back. I thought it sounded very good! I was getting out of audio and wasn't listening much anymore. Well..... now winter is here, I'm bored and have the itch to get something descent again. 
I like rock/metal/bluegrass/ acoustic/ some country. I need impact and good midbass and low fatigue. I have a Crown DCI 4/300 and a upgraded Jolida Fusion preamp at the moment. Plenty of power for almost anything. 

My biggest pet peeve is cabinets that start talking at high levels or when the sound hardens at high levels. 

Willing to drive up to 300miles 1 way for the right deal and I am in West Mi. A little older does not bother me at all. I've just started looking and a few I've been eying are:
Aerial LR5 or Model 9
Dali MS4
LSA 20 statements (new)
KEF 205/2
Dynaudio Focus 360

Any others anyone feels I should keep an eye out for in this price range? 

Thanks

JBL L100 Classic speakers.  4K new can be found for $2800-3000 used.  Fantastic speakers.  I just disconnected my GE Triton Ones for these and I am loving them.  Best Rock speaker ever which is why I bought them.  Keeping the Triton Ones. 
@mofojo,

I have only had the JBL speakers hooked up for less than a day so I can’t comment yet.  I have had the Triton Ones since January 2015 so I am very familiar with the sound.  Only time will tell which pair I like better.  
@mofojo ,

if you live near Rhode Island, I can have you over to hear the GE Triton Reference.   Many Audiogoners have come through my living room for a listen.  
@mofojo,

I am running a McIntosh C2500 tube preamp along with a McIntosh MC302 300wpc amp.  I smile a lot while listening.
