Alternatives to Klipsch Forte II

Forgot to mention that my room is pretty small. I don't have room for a surround setup or anything, and the cornwalls might be too big.

I guess this raises the question of room acoustics. The way I have it set up now, the far wall is only about 12 feet from the speakers, with much more room on the width. Also, they'll be on hardwood floors. How should this impact my decision?

Hmm I could potentially rearrange my room if I find some Forte II. I really just want to give them a shot, I've heard such good things. But I'll keep my eyes peeled for the heresy and KLF 10s as well. I currently have some non-descript Sony receiver/cd player that I plan on upgrading after I get some speakers. Any recommendations on affordable electronics to pair with any of these suggestions?

And I'll ask again what impact hard wood floors have on these speakers. I live in a 3rd floor apt and am concerned about the sound carrying downstairs, though the apt has thus far proved pretty sound proof.

Also, how's the bass on the Heresy?
