$35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why?

I am contemplating purchasing my End game speakers.     The ones that catch my eye are the Magico M3, Magico M project,  Stenheim Alumine 5se, Rockport Cygnus and the Songs Faber Amati Homage G5.   My system consists of  An Aurender N20 feeding a MSB Technology Premier Dac with Premier powerbaye.  Preamp duties are handles by An Audio Research Reference Anniversary and amplification is a pair of Lamm M 2.2 mono blocks. I currently have Magnepan 3.7i's.   I love their transparency and inner detail but they do not play in the low registers.   I do not want separate subs....  My room is mediums sized.  I listen to mostly soft pop, classical and some light rock.   I am trying to walk the thin line of tranparency vs musicality.    I would enjoy some suggestions and some sound reasoning behind members choices in speakers.  I do not want this to morph into a bashing thread.  Please stay on topic.

I’m pretty sure I’ve found my forever speakers, The Sonus Farber Amati G5’s. They are fairly efficient (91db) and to my ears, they sound accurate without sounding overly bright. Another thing I like about them is they put out ample bass. I rarely use the subwoofer anymore. 
 

BTW, When I purchased the Sonus Farber Amanti G5’s, they were in your price range.

All the best.

Yamaha NS 5000 has more advanced technology than any of those on your list. Strongly urge you to hear them before deciding. We were on our way to buy Magico in southern California but stopped to hear the Yamahas for giggles. Bought them. Much larger company with diversified tech resources boutique high end cannot match. Run the numbers.

The new Volti Vittora in some exotic finish. Effortlessly beautiful to the ears and eyes.

Ulfberht tekton beryllium model at that price you can buy that bonnivilles 4 feet wide 4x woofers 7 horns and  the ulfberht. Or buy 2 ulfberrhts with 2x 15 inch woofers pattened array of mids x14 and tweeter. If you like ribbon tweet you can through that in as well. You can ask for high end caps or external dsp. I have alot of reference speakers and still think my tektons are fantastic. Call tekton tell him what you want and he will build it. Enjoy the hunt. You could fly into provo utah and listen.
