Try to get out and audition as many speakers as you can. If no dealers/B&Ms in your area, try to order from a site with a generous return policy, somewhere like Music Direct. This will allow an easy exchange of you decide they're not a fit after extended auditioning.

Alternatively, you can take a risk with used speakers from this site or others and possibly get a model at half or less of original retail. I recently bought gently used speakers from this site and paid about 1/3 of their original retail. However, I knew the type of sound I like going in. Even though I had no prior experience with the brand, they turned out to be a slam dunk. I did plenty of research on the brand's "house sound" before taking a plunge.

Ideally, you'll audition speakers in your home - with your gear. That is ultimately the key to finding the right pair. Another benefit of buying used is you won't take a huge bath of you decide to part with them in 3 months. 

Mention your budget and you'll get a wealth of suggestions for everyone's favorites. Just remember that no speaker can fit all tastes. Choosing speakers is like choosing a mate.
