What to do? What to do?

I need to acquire speakers for my system (Acurus ACD-11, Aragon D2a2,Aragon 18k, kimber 4pr and pbj). I currently own a pair of BW 620 (free for helping my neighbor move). They've never wowed me with my rock music (which is about 50% of my collection) but I enjoyed listening to chamber and jazz on them. I'm a grad student and this will be my first real speaker purchase, so budget is an issue. What direction should I take in my search for some accurate speakers.

You will no doubt get a plethera of choices from knowledgeable posters but it might help them narrow down the suggestions if you provide a desired price range.

I also failed to mention that my amp is an Acurus A150

My suggestion is to look for something that is relatively efficient ( 90+ db's), has an impedance that is nominally 8 ohms and leans towards the "warm" side of neutral. All of your electronics and speaker cables are on the bright / lean side of neutral in my opinion. I would HIGHLY recommend avoiding anything with a horn or metal dome tweeter as that might really compound the problem. These are only observations on my part, so PLEASE don't take them as insults to your gear. It's not meant that way at all. Sean >

For $1200 the B&W CDM-1NT. The current 600 S2 series is an improvement over what you have also.
