Newbie looking for speakers

Parts Connexion has an awesome selection of Monitor Audio right now. :) 

I have a pair of HPM-40 that I occasionally rotate into my system and they sound OK. I suggest you give more detail on the size of your room, type of music you like, and how loud you listen to get better suggestions. With $5K or even $3K you should be able to upgrade to a system that will be exponentially better than what you have as long as your listening room can squeeze all its potential. Good luck.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

Try to listen to and learn about Magneplanars, for your budget and equipment start with 1.7i's.

You can build a 50K system of electronics and still be using the 1.7i's.

The only crazy thing I've read so far is proposing that you can get nice french Bordeaux for $20 ;-)
