New speakers

Hello again!

A few months back, I posted this:
"I am considering a new pair of speakers. I currently own Focal 826W which are powered by a Pass x250. I only listen to vinyl. I listen to rock, jazz and classical. I would like to find speakers that are not as bright. Otherwise, I do like these very much. I appreciate their low end, but I am not obsessed with bass. I like that the bass is tight and punchy and not distorted and booming. How/where should I begin? Should I consider the used market or is it too risky? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you."

Before I had the chance to respond, the topic went way off course. I was hoping that we could start over? Please?

My new room with have hardwood floors and be around 8.5' x 13'. Someone asked what my budget was. I am guessing around 5K. I wonder though if I should keep my amp or get some low watt tube amp and run super sensitive speakers? I am lost. Right now I am considering Harbeth Super HL5 Plus or Focal 1028Be. Any advice? Thank you again.
