Can someone help me pick out my first speakers?

Shipping 80lb amps.
I have had very bad experience with UPS.  They literally dropped a speaker at my house which after a long hassle wound up with a $2K payment from them. I would use Fedex.  Best JH  
AudioQuest Robin Hood vs William Tell
Hi, I have the Robin Hood Zero's non silver.  They sound great to me   I see that they retail for $1,700 but don't sell well on the used market so get used if you want. I got a set of  cables from Terry London and I can hear a diff between them ...
