I just went though what you're going through and I ended up with B&W 705 S2. $2995 and I could at least listen to them at Best Buy. They're very well known and I expect I will be able to sell them easily if I tire of them.
I have two sets of similar speakers and I expect that 40 watts might borderline unless you keep the volume to a very reasonable level.
I read many reviews and recommendations. They all provide some help but the final decision is still a gamble.....even with the 30 day guarantee. I just didn't want to fool with it.
