Best option

I've asked this before but now I'm going to be alot more specific. Big room, 20x40, around 700 dollars to spend, and two channel are my restrictions. I have a Technics receiver rated at 75W per channel at the moment, will be buying new one shortly. I was thinking about getting Klipsch Forte II off ebay, but from further reading, everyone recommends tube amps. Is this a bad idea to match them. If so what would you recommend I get? Thanks.

Thanks MDHoover, I'm looking for a little bit more expensive unless they truly can compete with more expensive speakers. I should probably mention I'm looking at used speakers on Ebay, and thus getting everything fairly cheap. Thanks again.

I should probably mention that the receiver is hooked up to a computer. Would an equalizer save me from the harsh highs? Paradigm seems to be out, at the prices a 12inch subwoofer (need atleast 12 inches because of room size)would put me over budget with the 250 dollar bookshelves. Thanks to everyone so far.

Ironically, I just switched away from foobar2000 as it was no longer sounding properly. It seemed to be hitting highs that weren't there. I have the Sound Blaster Xfi Fatality sound car (retails around 170) My source is fine. I am currently using winamp even though I feel Windows Media Player is giving the best source, its just a pain to organize.
