I just picked up a pair of Acoustic Energy AE509 for my bedroom and I've enjoyed them so far. They're a small tower speaker with nice bass, no sub needed. New they were originally $3900 now can be found for $2800 to $3500.

LSA 20 Signature Loudspeaker
Thanks for the input, I'd prefer a small tower with wood cabinets that fit in the room to a bookshelf on stands. Right now I'm using Golden Ear Triton sevens but want to move them into the livingroom home theater set-up.
