Zu and totem, other speakers to consider?

I have a pair of zu druids,  prior to the 2008 update,  and have enjoyed them.  A buddy has a pair of totem forests and they're so much more detailed and coherent than these zus.  Upgradeitis has struck again and I'm looking at a new pair of speakers,  preferably under 3k. Specifically something with smoother,  more detailed highs than this pair of druids.  I have a musical fidelity a308 integrated,  wavelength brick and an rel t-7 sub, and listen to a wide range of pop,  rock, and  acoustic music.  I'm considering focal and B&W,  but are there other mainstream high end brands I should be considering? Specific models? I'd love to audition a pair of the updated druids but buying them new is out of my price range and I almost never see any come up for sale anymore.
