See if you can find an older pair of Acoustic Research AR308 HO speakers, I currently have 3 pairs of them and they will keep up with any of the newer more expensive speakers, or if you want a floor standing speaker try the AR312 HO speakers, they are all 8ohm speakers with 93db and 94db of sensitivity.
If you are ever in the Chicago area, I live 50 miles west in Elgin I would love to let you listen to them in one of my 4 systems.
