I would recommend you concentrate your efforts on finding a speaker to your liking. Take your time and do lots of auditioning. Speakers can be the most costly part of your system and the most critical, so don't rush into anything. Do your homework on floorstanding vs monitors, 2-way vs 3-way (w/ or w/o a sub), panels vs dynamics, dispersion patterns, crossover configurations, enclosure types. It'll keep you busy for months, but when you've finally, thoroughly learned and listened, you'll be able to make a decision that is both satisfying and cost effective.
I haven't made any specific recommendations because speaker choices are all over the board in performance and cost. It's too important to make a blanket suggestion and a very personal choice.
And, check with your downstairs neighbor to find out how much they can hear your music. If you have a concrete floor, it may take a lot before it penetrates or becomes annoying.
