If you have a sub or don't care about deep bass, try the Monitor Audio Gold
10s. You can get them at the Good Guys for about $1500 a pair.

The Good Guys is not a high-end store, but don't let that scare you off. You
have 30 days to try out the speakers, which should give you plenty of time to
decide if they are right for you. Also, the Good Guys are running a 30+ month
no-interest special on all merchandise over $999, and they may be having a sale
on speakers at the same time.

Good luck!
