$3000 stand mounted speakers?


Whats a good contender in the $3000 range for a small monitor speaker to use with an EL34 tube amp w/ 40 wpc? The room is lively w/ hardwood floors and 18' x 22' x  9'H family area.
I'm contemplating the ProAc Tablet 10, but I'm wondering if I can do better by increasing my purchase up to $3k.

(FYI, I don't want floor standing speakers because of WAF, and have no problem from my end on this matter.)

Mjcmt-  sorry can’t be of any help with the different tablette versions.  Think you might be confusing the anniversary and signature versions, which are different.  I only listened to the tablette anniversary at the time I purchased them. They have since been discontinued.  I did not compare them to other proacs.  The anniversaries I had were rear ported, so a bit sensitive to room placement to get the best bass. I believe the 10 is not, so you can place it nearer to the rear wall if that is an issue. Not sure the sonic difference between the 10 and the 10 signature.   Many years ago, I had Proac response 1, which were better than the original tablettes (just seemed more musical in the mid). So you might consider looking at the current response line as well as the tablette 10.
I listened to the persona b last weekend and they’re on sale for a couple more weeks so they might be worth checking out.
@mjcmt  yeah I think Dynaudio tends to work better with high current solid state amps, and i think the Special Forty would benefit from higher damping factor. 
The Silverline I meant was the Minuet Grand. Much more musically accurate than the Dynaudio IMO. Probably on par with Fritz, though I only heard them briefly. I have a full review on my site.
