Hi,
I second the thought of getting some Vandersteens. 3A Signatures or 5s. If you opt for 3As you should find some produced in the last year if you can. Richard has made a lot of "continual improvement" with them. Especially since he put the anechoic chamber into his facility. The newer 3As are really awesome. Coupled with a pair of subs they're really good value. The flip side is to save up and get the 5s. They really are worth the extra money. I had to make the same decision a few years ago and I don't regret it a bit. Especially since even the new 3As aren't close enough to make me have second thoughts. (I have had both in my system recently.)
Feel free to drop me a line if you want any more input.
Cheers!
Mike
