Need a Speaker Recommendation

So, I'm putting together a secondary system composed of used components. My budget for the speakers will be in the $400-$700 range. The speakers will be paired with a Rotel rsx-1056, which I believe produces 100 watts X 2 into 8 ohms. So far, I've been mainly considering B&W speakers because I am most familiar with them (leaning towards 603 S2 or 602 S3). However, I'd like to hear any recommendations you guys have for an alternative speaker that can be found used in this price range, and pairs well with the Rotel(any brand, bookshelf or floorstander). The room is square shaped and approx 18' X 18' with a very high ceiling. I appreciate any advice you guys have--and please take used availability into consideration. Thanks.

Thanks guys, that's really eye-opening information for me--I've never heard these speakers but I will make it a point to go find a pair to audition now.

Wolf_Garcia: thanks for the info--my gf has an annoying cat named Zippy that will definitely tear them apart so that's really good to know

After checking out these speakers briefly on the internet, I'd like to know if there's any other speakers anyone can recommend as an alternative option? While I'm sure the vandy's sound great, they look like they may not fit in with my current living room setup, and another option would be nice to have anyway.

That's an option I will definitely consider. Thanks.

Btw, I should clarify that when I said they may not fit in with my current living room setup, I specifically meant that they look like they may just be slightly wide to fit into the slots I have for them in my entertainment system furniture, but I'm not completely sure yet. Also, there's a girlfriend-factor...she may not approve of the appearance, so you know how that goes.
