Hey Guzziguy,Just got an email from Fritz today and I haven't even ordered speakers yet, asking some of the same questions that you mentioned. It does seem like Fritz wants to make sure that people who order, or even interested in his speakers, kn... 
Radio in the Heartland WHHP 98.3 FM
One of the best stations, and who's format is very similar to WWHP, is WNCW (88.7) out of Spindale (Asheville area), NC. In an hour's time you could go through listening to Vassar Clemments to Hound Dog Taylor to Donna the Buffalo to Sonny Landret... 
Best Speakers match for NAD C372
With the NAD you got, and what you want to spend, you got a whole range of options. One thing I was thinking, especially since you stated that your listening taste was "basically rock and jazz", is that you might might want to lean toward a floors...

Glowplug,The damage that clipping will do is not so much to the amp, but to your speaker's tweeter. Many tweeters have been "fried" because someone trying to crank-up a lower powered amp and drove it into clipping. What's happening is, your amp ca...

Glowplug,If you like the "sonic signature" of B&W, you might want to check out Epos and Wharfdales. In your price range, the Epos ELS3 would be an excellent speaker. This little Epos has gotten quite a number of excellent reviews and from hear...

Glowplug,Everybody is in the same ballpark as far as being able to hear a lot of the speakers that they may be interested in. About the only way you can audition many speakers is to buy them, listen to them for awhile and if works out, keep them. ...

You know the first time I heard B&Ws I fell in love with them, too. But the more I went and listen to other speakers the less I liked the B&Ws. At your price point, the top speaker I would be looking for is a used pair of the Usher S-510, ... 
Down-firing subs and downstairs neighbors
Abarnett,The frequency that the bass becomes really bad (penetrating) is dependent on a variety of factors, some of which are:1. The room itself and how it effect bass frequencies.2. How much insulation is between your floor and neighbor ceiling, ... 
Down-firing subs and downstairs neighbors
First question, how much insulation will be between your floor and your neighbor's ceiling (if it's none, which is probable the case, you asking for trouble, by putting in a subwoofer)? Second question, how loud to you like to listen to your music... 
Bookshelf speakers ?
Jpgsf,The Energy RC-10 are some pretty damn good sounding monitors, especially at their price. Almost bought a pair, myself. Think you'll be a pretty "happy camper" with them, and with the money you saved, just think how much more music you can bu...

Thomp9015,Thank you for your thoughts and the "heads up" about Tekton. Definely going to have to do some more investigation on these speakers. As it could be a good, an affordable road for me to go down.

Just curious about Fritzspeakers Full Range Fostex Single Driver speakers. I like the concept of a single speaker without a crossover, in a well designed cabinet, but to be honest I've never had the opportunty to listen to a pair, and was wonderin...

What's your definition of "reasonably priced speakers"? Also, taste in music, room size, source, ect? 
what concerts do you wish you attended?
The Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East, March 1971. I actually saw the "dress rehersal" concert the weekend before down in a small theater down in Fayetteville, NC. Not many people there but damn the band was "hittin the note" that night, and th... 
A future city dweller's dilemma...
Before you buy a condo, check it for sound leaks, especially into adjacent units and either be willing to do what's necessary to stop these leaks (so you can enjoy your music the way you like to hear it) or else be willing to make the compromises ...
