Battle of the affordables

People are making recommendations and they have no idea what the core system is.  

Are certain speakers in your price range omitted on purpose. I see the SVS but not the MoFi 888’s, or Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. And of course at the risk of getting stoned by the crowd, Tekton. I was looking in the sub $5K range and wanted a big speaker to pair with 180wpc tube amps, and can’t afford Fyne, or Tannoy’s. But for me I wanted a fun musical speaker Vs something too analytical .

Yes, texas-jerry, but that is what the OP asked for.

"affordable" is a loaded term. I would have preferred the phrase "less than stratospheric."

+1 @nonamesleft4me .  Especially considering the price range OP has laid out:  from 2.1k to 7k.
