I'll just get it out of the way and tell you, yes I'm a 19 year old college boy and many of you know vastly more than I do about home audio and most all of you have more money than I do. However, I am just not satisfied with my Sony set up and am looking to buy a cheaper used myryad integrated amp (around $3-400) and am looking for some advice on stereo speakers to go with it. Floorstanders are nice, but seeing as how I can only afford $3-500 for the speakers, I am not at all married to the idea and would cheerfully buy some nice bookshelves that were a great value. I listen to all kinds of music except rap and most frequently classic rock. I'll just go ahead and list the speakers I've heard that impress me so all you who are wiser than me can give me advice.

Tannoy MX-2
Tannoy MX-3
B&W 602 S3
B&W DM303

I really do like the Tannoy MX-2s espescially because I'm looking to someday move up to 5.1 and could set those as a rear and get the matching MX-3 or MX-4 for front channel and obviously the MX-C for center channel. I did hear Queen over the tannoys and was impressed but did not hear anything truly exciting over the B&W's musical selection wise. Anyways, to stop my rambling and get to the point any advice you could give me for other speakers I should give a listen to around that price range would be wonderful and also any other int. amps you've ever found to be a good bargain. Thank you so much!
