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 -  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.

these look tempting, they may have others ready to go.

My house limit is about $2K these days.  I have an earlier version of the Zu Audio as my main speakers for the last 7 years or so.

People tend to love them or hate them.  Very energetic listen, if that is your preference.  You would not need to (necessarily) upgrade everything else, if you introduced these into the mix.  Your Pioneer receiver would be fine.  Would do well with the style of music you like.
