I am trying to evaluate speakers myself at present, and I have two important messages:
1. Audiogon has helped me to create an excellent short list of speakers to listen to. However, in EVERY case, a listening session changed my interpretation of what I had read.
2. Be sure, ABSOLUTELY sure, that it is your speakers that are the problem. I have upgraded electronics over the past year and I am very inclined to contradict the "golden paradigm", namely that speakers are the most important thing in the audio chain. Speakers are almost always blamed for problems that really reside upstream.
I would evaluate my electronics very carefully before I required new speakers to do something which they may not be able to do.
Best of luck.
