Eminent Technology 8s for as little as c. $1200, Quicksilver V4s for $2500 - $3000, an Outlaw 755 or 770 ($1000 - $1700) for the bass modules, and a couple-hundred dollars for the electronic crossover of choice.
You'll end up with GREAT sound--huge, spacious soundstage if you can get them 5 - 7 feet from the front wall, highly transparent and revealing, and well-extended, well-defined, tuneful bass--for c. $7K. Buy better somehting-or-other with the $5K left over.
A caution--if you listen at high levels, say, peaks well over 100dBA, the 8s probably aren't for you. But they fill my 3200CF room VERY easily with FIFTY Watts on the MR/treble!
