$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.

Absolutely, rsf507. Regardless of how well-engineered a loudspeaker is, if it doesn't sound good to the potential buyer, it doesn't matter!

Madisound has a kit like the rockports with textreme speakers like fockports 5 k with piano black high gloss cabs. Take a look and enjoy the hunt.

If you can afford it, go for it. You're not ever going to be completely satisfied until buy them. It is far better to go with your gut, rather than wasting your money on several other brands of speakers on your audio journey.

Is playing darts in the dark! Has anyone on this thread brought home a pair of speakers that ended up sounding like they did in the demo that attracted them? I went to axpona again this year, most rooms over used subs to the point of making the demo useless. Being familiar with several speakers on display {having previously or currently owned} I still wouldn't have been able to pick any of them out of a lineup. 

 All those cautions noted I only really left interested in the JBL Summit Pumori retail $30,000.
