Well, it's not as easy as Wireworn suggested. Everyone likes different speakers for different reasons. No one is really right or worng. It's all preference.

For starters, I would start visiting audio stores and listening to various speakers in your price range and go with the ones you like best.

A short list to start with in no particular order,

Energy
Paradigm
B&W
Boston Acoutics
Polk
Klipsch
Athena
Mission
KEF
Defintive Technology
Infinity

and Internet brands like,

Axiom
Rocket
Swan
Cambridge Sound Works


These are some of the main players and all make "good" speakers. I've probably left some out and other's can add to that list. But, go out and listen and see what you think.

Remember, if you go with standmount mains you will probably need a sub to make up for the lack of bass. Most of the companies listed above also make subs but there are also companies like SVS, HSU, Adire an a couple of others that make grear subs.
