Help to chose acoustic


need advice. I've been looking for a speaker system for almost half a year now. listened to quite a few models. three-way systems are a priority, since I believe that three-way systems have less distortion. Harbeth liked the realism of vocals, but pushed the look out. the Wharfedale Linton 85th liked the design, but not the sound. Klipsch Heresy was disappointed by the lack of bass, although it looks attractive. Modern fashion columns are not very interesting, I like the shape like a vintage acoustics, but I'm afraid to take the vintage itself due to possible breakdowns. I'm looking for a speaker system at a price of three and a half thousand dollars. now in confusion, because what you like externally doesn't like by sound, what you like by sound, you don't like externally.

+1 on the ATC, any of their floor standing passive speakers, they are $$$ but they sound rich and full.
As far as I know, Atc is very finicky in gain. I have to buy a welding machine to swing them 😏
Where are you allowed to put the speaker,
against the wall, 1/3 out from the back wall, or a few feet out?

can you go floor standing or do you have to go bookshelf and stand,

do you have a color preference? It looks like you like the wood finish. 
Do you have decent speaker cables already or do you need to add that to your budget?
