What do I buy?

I have a decent Emotiva surround receiver capable of 250 watts per channel (I think, I'm not near the unit) and I'm looking for decent speakers to go with it. By decent, I mean high end but not ridiculous, I could go to $5000 for two front, two rear and a center speaker.

I don't want a sub woofer but the two fronts at least should have decent bass, so not Magnaplanars unless they also have a decent woofer. I've seen combos like that by Martin Logan.

I'm out of touch with what's out there so any opinions are very welcome.

Thanks - rev

Some good suggestions here.

I agree that MA offers a lot of bang for the buck and they can do double duty as HT/ Stereo speakers. The newest Silver series has a more benign impedance, and if your receiver truly meets its published specs, I wouldn't worry about the impedance dips. 

You should also add the Revel Concerta series to your list, a very different sounding speaker, but many like them.
