Avalon, Verity, Vandersteen, Rockport, Magico are my rec's to look at. Rockport's are awesome, not well known, and once in a while have a low end model come up under 10k.
I think the easy to drive Coincident Technogy Super Victory II speakers at $10,000 are excellent speakers. They will play excellently in any rooms below 4,000 cubic feet. If you have a larger room, you may waqnt to consider the larger Coincident Technology Total Victory V's, but at a more robut $15,000/pr.
