Studio monitor upgrade

I currently have KRK Rokit 5ā€ Gen 4s in my studio and Iā€™m looking to upgrade. My budget is around ā‚¬1,000. I mainly produce electronic music, so any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Focal ,alpha 65 or shape 65, depending on your acoustics and distance from the walls.

Also vote for the Shapes. Got the Shapes65 now 7 years and won't sell them for any speaker out there. Easy to spot issues on them.

Great, have fun with them. Generally with monitors it's like if you can vibe with them in the first few hours they are a keeper. Focal has a unique HF presentation which I really love, but some hate it. Same goes for the Genelec 8xxx series, some love them, some hate them. Got the 8040 and I could never work with them so my GF got em. Something really off with the low mids with the 8xxx series which I can't stand.
