My 2 cents-
Audition as many speakers you can access. I know B&M stores aren't as plentiful as when I started, but you need to learn what you like/love.
Yes, it will take time, but you will not waste time/money on speakers that don't work with your ears.
The best thing is that you will not only learn what you like, but meet people who share your passion. And dealers that know what you want.
The recommendations given are meant in the best possible spirit, but only you can decide what sounds best.
