I would recommend, (yet again), the best audio forum on the web, (IMVHO)
www.avsforum.org
More info than you can actually process without feeling like your head has been shaken out of your skull by a huge sub, but you can find
real info there. Speakers, like cigars, are a subjective thing, and your wallet, and mileage, may vary from many others, but there is no question that AVS has the info you are looking for, in spades, and you may discover some other equipment you never thought of before.
While I am far from an audiophile, I currently run a few more 'vintage' sets of speakers, and they agree with my level of deafness from too many gunshots and too much loud music when I was a lad.
as a side note, a decent shop will let you demo speakers in your home with no problem. If you lived near me, I would take 4 or 5 different pairs over to you to find out what sounds best to you, in your space.
