Help this old rookie with speakers

Been reading a lot of the discussions and I am super impressed with the knowledge here.  

And a sage piece of wisdom that I got 40 years ago is "if you want to get your a$$ handed to you, try to be an expert in another man's field".

So...   I'm looking to put a new set of speakers in my living room.   I have an NAD 2400 amp. that I have owned for 30 years, and it has served me well powering my Boston Acoustics VR975 speakers

I've had an affinity for La Scala's for a long time, but I think they are a little big for this space.   So I was wondering if anyone had experience with the  Crites Speaker Type CS Style B.   They seem to be like  Cornwalls and a very good price.

Thanks!

I don't really have a "system" right now, other than some Boston Acoustics Lynfield 975s paired up with an NAD 2400.    

My living room where I am going to put the speakers is... and I'm guessing here because I am traveling.... probably 30' wide and 20' deep.    The speakers would go in the corners of one of the long walls. 

I'm thinking in the $3,000 range for speakers and just saw the discussion on $3,000 price range.   That was helpful

Thank you all for your thoughts and insights.  

My speakers will end up being about 25 ft apart which makes for great stereo separation.   My Lynnfield's sound pretty good, but I'm going for the "horn" sound right now. 

I don't care about resale because I am an old guy and I intend these to be my children's problem!    

And I think I have found a pretty decent deal on some La Scala speakers that have been rebuilt with new crossovers, etc.    So the next fun venture will be what amp. to drive them with.   I'm going to start with one of my NAD amps and go from there.
