Suggestions for $2k budget

Greetings, and I hope you are all well.
Looking for speaker advice on a $2k budget. Used or new, tower or bookshelf, doesn't matter. I'm about a year into my audiophile journey and am about to buy a house with a small to medium sized space I'll be using as a listening room. I listen to mostly rock/electronic 
I respect your opinions very much, would be very grateful for any tips!
Thank you,
Bryce

How much reliable power dies your (presumably old) Adcom have into 4ohms? If it has a lot of power/current then would recommend the .7 Maggies for a smaller room and they need space behind them and a fairly closed shaped room to get enough bass without subs. But you can certainly get new .7s for less than $2500 with 2 new Emotiva 8" BassX subs or similar.

There can be 100 different brands and models to look at. Everybody has an opinion. You should go demo some speakers at hifi stores, or at shows and get a feel for what you like. Each brand has their own sound. If you like a certain brand that you heard that you liked, then ask the group which speakers in this group would best match your system and room size. I wouldn't go out and buy any speaker or audio component without hearing it or its brand 1st
