Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you?
I have been using an OSD ATM-7 for a couple of years, with its remote you can switch up to 7 pairs of speakers and 2 amps. Great for comparing speakers instantly from your listening position. 
Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection
The Klipsch RP-600Ms or RP-150Ms are both great, not overly bright with great dynamics. I own them both plus RF-3 lls that are in your face bright in the Klipsch horn tradition. 
stand-mount speakers for classical music
Also forgot about NHT Classic 3 speakers. 3 way and excellent sound, if you can find a pair.

Vanatoo has “B” stock for $319, I believe shipping is free, just add state tax. 
Bose 901 Series ii
The new 901s sound much better, brutal lows, singing highs. Try to find a pair on Craigs list. 
Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"??
Owned 901 series lVs for years, when the surrounds went bad Bose replaced with Series Vl for shipping cost. Nothing I have owned sounds better or more exciting, just different. They have stood the test of time and all the audiophile horse hooey. I...

Forgot to say, the small Klipsch compare very well with my favorite classical music speakers Klipsch Quartets.

The very inexpensive Klipsch RP-150M are great with classical music from soft listening to loud. Haven't heard the RP-600M but I would guess they are at least as satisfying. 
Ported versus sealed speakers: is one type better?
It's all about engineering and design.

Another vote for Vanatoo Transparent Zero, incredible speakers from a very responsive company. You must use their interconnect between speakers, it is NOT a regular ethernet cable. Excellent sound from a tiny set of speakers. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Klipschorns! Too big and too expensive so, I just keep coming back to my very old but upgraded Klipsch Quartets. I have owned Martin Logan Sequel lls, AR-3s, JBL Decade 36s, Allison CD8s and CD9s, Klipsch Forte early version, Klipsch Heresy lls. A... 
Can speakers be stored in a garage?
I have stored speakers and amps in my unheated garage, low humidity, for years with no problem. You should be fine. 
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
My Klipsch Quartets are still number one in my collection. I have installed titanium domes in tweet and midrange horns. Also added modified Klipsch E2 crossovers and more sound absorbing to the cabinets. I recently purchased a Klipsch RP-150M pair... 
Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs
I have a pair of Martin Logan Frescos. They have folded ribbon midrange and tweeters. I really like the sound in the human vocal range. Crossovers are at 500 and 3200. Aluminum cone 4" from around 80 to 500.
