$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?


Hi,

I'm new here, glad I found this forum. I have a receiver from 2007, specifically the  Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH.
I'd like to hook up a pair of stereo speakers to listen to music only, no movie watching. There are quite a few choices in my price range for full-range speakers (Lore, Uruz, Perfect SET, Enzo XL)  I've read through their descriptions and customer reviews on Tekton website, but have not heard any in person. I'm not an audiophile by any means, so exotic specs and ultra exotic amps, DACs, interconnects,... are not in my realm of knowledge. I'm just looking for a fairly good pair of speakers to listen to rock music and classical. My music collection is all on CDs. I do have an SVS subwoofer (cylinder shape, about 4feet tall) that I can pair with the speakers. What would you recommend as a starting point? Should I consider mid-range speakers? Thank you for any advice!

Thanks guys for all your opinions.
To answer some questions that were asked:
The room is 15' x 18', and I'd love a set of floorstanding speakers. I like looking at them as much as listening to them, Lol. I'll keep reading some more, but so far leaning towards the Perfect SET 15, solely due to them being in my price range. I can probably stretch to get the  Double Impact. However, I'd like to know if they're worth the $1000 difference, in YOUR opinions. I also understand that sound is very subjective, and will take your advice with that in mind. I don't think I can go much above $3000.

One more question: Do I even need to use the SVS subwoofer with these full size speakers?

Thanks!
Chorus,

Yes indeed. But I'm so new at this that I'm afraid of buying something that may have hidden issues that I'm not knowledgeable enough to see.
Another piece of info I just found out, Tekton will take a minimum of 12 weeks to make them. So I'll either get them used, or go for Elac from Crutchfield, plenty in stock.
I'm open to any brand, as long as I can get them for around $2000/pair, max I want to spend is $3000. I brought up Tekton because that's the 1st name that I searched as suggested by an acquaintance. So for now, I'll start looking at brands that are in my budget, and can be bought soon (within a few weeks).
Thanks,

Going off  topic a bit: for the same money, would you guys prefer Tekton or Elac?

Thanks,
