The omega 3i, it has addicting musicality, they like tubes too, they are fast , but you can get away with Elac B6 is that good...the 10,2 is just as good...
Markr is a friend of mine, he has the alnico omega and 3i, he is upgrading to Omega alnico high output, I think he is selling his 3i, he might be able to give you a good prize.... if you are interested send him a message....
Not sure what speaker characteristics are most important to you, but an excellent all-arounder is the Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus. It's not a hard speaker to drive and should be in your price range used. Best of luck.
I believe the Wharfdale 10.2 is on sale by Music Direct. Better than the 10.1s for your size room. I believe easier to drive than the Elac B6, which is otherwise a easy recommendation at it's price.
Again, once one gets past the speaker/amplifier synergy issues, the choice of speaker is so subjective I hesitate to recommend a specific pair.
