2k$ speakers that meet my criteria?
They're just that good, I've heard many, many speakers (including Ohm and Vandersteens as mentioned above) and none I've felt so passionately about except the Carbon 7's. But I understand your point, maybe I am being a bit overzealous. 
fritz loudspeakers
Just a heads up to people, if you haven't heard of Fritz speakers or his Carbon 7's, check out www.sonicflare.com , I believe Sean's review accurately describes the traits of the Carbon 7.

Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
Fritz Carbon 7's are amazing. For those who haven't heard of it, go to www.sonicflare.com and check out Sean's review. I believe he accurately captures the traits of the Carbon 7.Best monitor I've heard under $4K! And I've heard almost all the mai...

2k$ speakers that meet my criteria?
Everything you named just screams Fritz Carbon 7's to me. They are on the warm side with an incredibly rich and lush sound. Many speakers I've heard that are warm, sacrifice detail in the process. Not the Carbon 7's though, it retains all the deta...

For music or HT? Either way, for $700, I'd go with a used R205 or R305 if you can find one that cheap.

Five spkr choices Your pick?

fritz carbon 7 vs gallo starda's
The Carbon 7's have a relatively smooth impedance curve so they are fairly easy to drive. I've used low power tubes and high power SS, they both work very well. Never used Virtue amps before but if your room is small then it should be fine, otherw... 
fritz carbon 7 vs gallo starda's
Can't speak for the Gallo's, but for me, the Carbon 7's are the best monitors I've heard under $4000, and I've heard a lot. Relatively speaking, I would call it's sound warm, so if brightness is a priority, you might not like them. Otherwise, you'... 
Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you?
They're awesome. I wasn't a believer until I heard them for myself (Bel Canto S300 & Wyred4Sound ST500). I always thought class D would sound very shrill/digital/thin, but that's not the case. They are very powerful, transparent, and smooth. 
Need advise for 7.1 system speakers
