Budget American made speakers?

Thanks for all the helpful advice.  Ive been looking at speakers and reading reveiws for hours.  My mind is boggled and I now need a drink.  Time to flop a record on the marantz, flip on the old pioneer, and crank up my cerwin vegas from high school.  Sounds alright after a 6 pack.

Omega look nice. Not much of a used market. Everyone must be happy with them and keep them. 

Jon yeah saw that website. Spent some time on there.

Actually, I wouldnt mind floorstanders, but my wife "doesnt want to look at big ugly speakers all the time."
I dont know what her problem is.
The 1k budget is also do to said wife.
God I am so whipped, im going to jump off a bridge now.

Thanks dude, you are absolutly right about "mamma".
But, Im still a little sore that you said i dont appreciate symphony because i drink beer. My dad was a big sympony nut, especially on records. I grew up on it, along with 70’s rock(im 36). And my wife actually plays violin. I appreciate the complexitys of symphony.... just prefer shit with more drive.
However, i do appreciate all the posts! Its awesome that guys are so willing to help a newbie. Thank you all for the recommendations. I checked them all and followed up with a lot of web research. I think im settling on a used pair of tyler halos.
I’m more of the guy who is impressed by the music itself and not what its playing out of. I love how music brings people together, and the way the actual music makes me feel.
If your favorite song is playing, does it matter if its on a 30k rig or a bar jukebox?

Thanks ctsooner, will definantly have to check that place out. My wifes Dad lives near state fair park so I get to that area here and there.
