Best monitor under 5k?

I am looking for some opinions on what monitor speakers under $5000 give the most bang for the buck. I may have to move into a smaller apartment and am looking for something that would work in a smaller environment.

I've also been in the market for a pair of monitors for $4k tops and so far these two have outshined many others on female voices. I listen to a lot of Shirley Horn, Etta James, Dianne Schur, Norah Jones, etc.
