I liked the Studio's, Revel's Performa upward do seem to like power house amps with current though. I personally am not a big fan of Sim amps. I wonder if your dealer has something else to try the Studio's on?
The Dynaudio Sapphire was stunning both in looks and sound. I thought it was a great deal at it's price point but the series was a limited run. Not sure I agree but I was told by a dealer the top of the line Focus had a similar Sapphire sound. In the given budget there are a few Dynaudio options.
The electrostat suggestion is a good one, I personally liked them better than Maggies. I haven't heard the brands suggested but what kept me from them was missing the physical aspect of dynamic drivers.
You should take your time, you don't want to be too hasty and end up on the audio marry-go-round :) Also, as you have listened to various brands they were each driven by various electronics, so if you are serious about one you need to arrange an in home audition. Not every amp and speaker will have synergy.
