REL Storm is great so is vandersteen 2QW ($750 used).But use multiple small drivers instead of one large one.This means they are fast and can keep up with music dsemands whereas with HT a single big driver gives the desired "Boom in the Room" which often is fast or pitch accurate enough for a high quality music system.Also the Vandersteen has a crossover design which you don't use RCA cables as the input as the X-over design uses the speaker wire inputs/outputs as the X-design is made to respond to the whole waveform not just what is low passed.I think the REL is better sounding but the Vandy id the Audiophile budget champ and you'd be very happy with it.
