To get meaningful advice and make better informed decisions, more info would be helpful. How large a room are you going to have to fill with sound? What are the room's acoustic characteristics; lively & with bare floors & lots of glass, well damped with carpet & plush drapes, etc? Do you plan to have high efficiency speakers mated with a lower powered tube amp or are you thinking of less efficient speakers & more powerful amplification? Have you listened to enough speakers to have any preferences; planar, dynamic, horn, etc? A bunch of scattershot opinions are worthless unless they are applicable to your tastes and room.
