Rumours are true. RME repair service is legendary.
The focal shape 65’s are great, hope you enjoy them I’ve had my pair since 2018 - still sound incredible!!

Near-field studio monitors suggestions
i was in the same boat last year and went with the KH 120s - they're insanely detailed for the size. since you've got room in the budget i'd also check out the Focal Shape 65 or the HEDD Type 07. both give you a different flavor to compare against. having two pairs to reference helped me dial in mix

Focal Shape Twin vs Alpha Twin Evo - or something else ?
Focal Shape Twin or Focal Shape 65 and a SubOne (but out of the budget) cannot go wrong with both options. Level of details and a spectacular sound stage,cannot find negative points about them. Enjoy in new speakers.

Upgrading monitors - the sea never parted for me. Did they part for you?
I got that moment when I upgraded from Adam t8v paired with two T10's subs to Focal Shape 65 with Sub One...I was just listening the music for the entire week and I was mesmerized.

Best monitors under $2,500 a pair for office space (music and video editing)
The 306P is actually good if you can’t hear the amp noise. I’ve owned JBL 305P, Focal Shape 65, Genelec 8030C, and 8341A. Would probably go Focal for the more pleasant aesthetics.

Studio upgrade help needed. I want to buy new monitors.
That's what I'm saying about the budget. It's enough for a wicked sub, but not necessarily enough for bigger and more detailed mains. i looked on Thomann. You can afford A7V or the equivalent Hedd07 or Eve, or Focal Shape 65 or Dynuadio LYD8. You will absolutely get more detail than have now with A7

Speakers upgrade
Between 8030 and KH120, I'd take the Neumann, based on personal listening experience. But you haven't given any details on what you are doing. There are also alternatives, like Focal (Shape 65), Dynaudio (BM6A), and ADAM (A7V/A7X). Or you could get larger but not as expensive monitors like HS8 or Ka
