floor speakers upgrade

I'm lookin for an upgrade from my current floor-standing speakers. I've had the Pioneer SP-FS52s for quite a while now and I've recently come into some extra money and hoping I could make an upgrade. I'm not really too knowledgeable when it comes to audio equipment so I figured here would be a great place to start. I've got about $600 to spend but I'd prefer to spend less if at all possible.

Just a quick search on Amazon brings up hundreds of products so I'm unsure of where to start. I found this http://www.pricenfees.com/best-floor-standing-speakers.html and from what I can tell they have some good information. I've got my eye on the Fluance XL7F's which are within my budget and seem to get good reviews in most places. Anyone have experience with these speakers or have a better suggestion? I'm lookin to make a purchase within the next few days.

I appreciate any help you can give.

Agree with above posts. At least Tekton offers a 60-day trial period, although you'll probably be out some shipping dollars if you return them. The mini Lore and Lore Reference are in your basic price range and may be worth a look. Another choice, especially if you like the sound you're getting now, would be the Elac F5. Like your Pioneers the F5 was also designed by Andrew Jones but likely offers meaningful improvements in driver technology, cabinetry, etc. The other option is obviously to buy used, and then you can start looking at speakers like the Silverline Preludes or the Monitor Audio RX6. Not knowing your system or what sound characteristic are important to you make these blind recommendations, but at least you have some ideas to work with. One big thing is to make sure whatever speakers you choose match well with and can be driven by your amplifier. Best of luck.
