I hope the OP makes his choice based on what he hears with his own ears and, if possible, that he gets to try his speaker choices in his own environment. Lots of good suggestions in this thread, but also lots of people disliking lots of speakers and it would be a disservice for the OP to rule those brands out based on what other people heard.
When I bought my Wilson Benesch speakers, pre-owned, they sounded utterly miserable in the seller's living room. I don't know if it was the ancillary equipment, or the room, but they were awful. It was no wonder he wanted to sell them. I'd heard them before, so I knew what they COULD sound like, so I bought them and sure enough they sound like heaven in my room. Point being - you take any speaker anyone has mentioned in this thread, and in the wrong room or with the wrong equipment you can make it sound like crap. But that doesn't mean it won't sound like heaven to the OP, in his home, and with the right equipment.
