$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 would second the Yamaha NS-5000s; great speakers!

Also the Dutch & Dutch 8C is another great choice and may suit your room size.

The Sonus Faber Stradivari, second hand original version, would easily fit your budget and they look great.  Room size might be the only issue

For your income range, I'd choose one of the Magico models. They're supremely engineered and have gotten rave reviews. For less money, consider the Vandersteen Quatro CT Evo, the Golden Ear T44 or T66, or the TAD E1TX or E2.

And the Vandersteen Quattros have built in subs with 11 bands of analog EQ to address room modes… a feature no… NO REL has…

Give serious consideration to Daniel Hertz Anton. They fit your budget. True 20 to 20 range. 15 inch concentric driver. No sub necessary. Works well with most quality amps but Daniel Hertz has its own integrated to full match the tuning. Designed for musicality  of the sensation this is totally real, right here. Think Tannoy with total rework and update for speed and transparency.  They were at Dallas show last year. Maybe this year too.  Likely at Vienna.
