Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less?

For your musical taste i recommend Klipsch KLF 30! Why waste your money for the speakers that will play music that is horrible recorded at first place? Unless your taste will eventually evolve into different 'genre'of music i wouldn't bother with super quality speakers. Good Luck.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I will do some research on the above mentioned speakers.. Anybody have any experience with the Tyler Lindbrook monitors? I have read some nice things about them. Would they be suited for rock type music at med levels while still maintaining there composure and still be smooth and detailed?

I would recommend the Vandersteen 2CE's with a Vanersteen subwoofer.
