I say go out and listen to as many different brands as you can. Klipsch is a good speaker company, but they can be bright, which some people like and some don't. You might be surprised how different speakers can sound.....so much so, that going out and auditioning them is what you should do first. Once you find the type of sound you like, then look around for good deals for that particular model or one close to it from that manufacturer. Good luck!
