Less expensive alternatives to Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV?

Hi,

I'm no audiophile, listening to mainly rock/symphonic metal and classical. 

Recently listened to some Frozen Crown and Dragonforce on a friend's Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV. Of course it was amazing. But, I don't know what I don't know. I'm looking for a set of speakers that have similar (may not be as "good") characteristics as my friend's, and don't cost $7500. My room is about 20' x 15', amp is an old Pioneer Elite. Any directions as to where to search for that set of speakers are much appreciated. 

I did a Google query, and the following names came up: Klipsch Heresy IV, Klipsch Forte IV, Polk Audio R700.

 

Thank you,

atemoya

Cornwall 4 B Stock

I bought my Cornwall 4's as ("B Stock") on Ebay, link above. Could not figure out why they were labelled as such until I discovered months later that the plinth was slightly out of square. No biggie,

Older Lascalas and a pair of great matching powered subs, would be my destination. Another level up in "live" reproduction. My best, MrD.

@atemoya -  it’s not just the speaker, but the entire audio chain:

Source>preamplifier>amplifier>speakers and cabling.  Room conditions, how sounds are reflected/absorbed, is also important.
