I agree with @Bache, you are asking for the "sky is the limit" in terms of features but "low ceiling budget." Something has to give.. However, since i am popping off about your situation no one yet has mentioned Elac Debut 6.2 (which i am listening to as i type) or the Elac Uni-Fi-Ub5. I can tell you the Debut are worth every bit of the $250.00 asking price.. I recently connected PS Stellar M700’s amps and the speakers are responding pretty damn well. However, I have a pair of Burchart S400’s coming though so these will be stored or sold in the next few weeks, (maybe).
