Speaker selector app.

I wish someone made an app to help select speakers.
Here's what I want:
Full range with a silky but extended and detailed top end. No mid-range harshness. Sound good at low levels and be able to play classical music at concert levels. Good sound stage and depth. Bass down to 20hz for pipe organ music. What more could I want? Around $6000. Any ideas?

There are some good suggestions above. I am listening to a pair
of Pulsars now on loan to me. Dealer demos from 2016 that come with the full 5 year warranty. $5,000. They are excellent but not going as low as you mention. I hope you don’t want them!!

An app might narrow down speaker options, but it can't tell you what speakers will work in your room and sound best to you.  Unless you don't really care about all that.

GoldenEar Triton 1r - Highly regarded and positively reviewed, extends to 13 Hz with built in 1600 watt sub amps, easy to drive (92 spl), great midrange and treble, and affordable at $6,000 a pair.

The app should have a footnote*

*Unless you have deep pockets, and a LARGE dedicated listening space, allowing tested and determined speaker placement, seeking extended bass is unadvisable!

Good suggestions here. If you have some hifi shops near you, it might be worth listening to things in the 9-14k range, find a couple of models you like and then look in the used market. 6k new your options will be limited.
