As far as what towers to get I'd recommend going to stores and listening to different brands. Klipsch use horn tweeters and most consider them to be bright. IMHO they are great with rock music, but for the most part they are too bright for me. Most love or hate the Klipsch sound so it really boils down to if you like their sound or not.
Several brands to check out:
Polk Audio
Energy
Boston Acoustics
Monitor Audio
Paradigm
PSB
Definitive Technology

I have Klipsch surround speakers currently. In general i like softer silkier hi's not that penetrating rock like metallica hi's. They hurt my ears. So maybe klipsch is not the right brand for me. I'll have to visit the hifi store and listen.
It says Speaker Impedance: 4-ohm or 8-ohm, that means it should handle 4-ohm right?
