Seeking Warm Towers - under $1500.

OK,
Yes I am a newbie.

Lokking for advice as to what speakers to seek out listen and eventually buy...

Background:
Pairing with Adcom GFA-545II and the GTP-500II. for a two channel setup.

Am going FLAC and will buy, in all likelyhood, a PS Digital Link DAC and squeezebox or comparable.

Now comes the speakers. The benchmark speaker for me are the Totem Forest's(4k). There are not many shops near me to test listen. but I have tried Monitor's, Paradigm's, Genelec, and The Forest's were it by a country mile.

music consists of primarily vocal & blues.

I am all ears as to suggestions.

Thank you

Rotarius, I call the quad warm based on my listening experience in my room, as always ymmv.
To compare speakers I have owned over the years, I could oversimplify certain speakers the following way and classify with: warm/neutral/cool
NHT 2.5i cool
Von scheikert VS 1 neutral
Quad 12L warm
Quad 22L Warm
Mackie hr824 active neutral
ACI sapphire III warm
Maggie MMG neutral
BG 520 neutral
Talon Raven warm
After the NHT I knew I did not care for cool! I may be misguided, but I relate the emotional connection a speaker provides to being warm to me. I am a big fan of quad line and hope to recieve a new pair of 12L active today! I am hoping it will give me benefits of active design that Mackie had with a more involving musical experience.
Cheers,
