been reading PSAudio's Paul McGowen's book 'unlocking the secrets to great sound', I like how he lays out speaker choosing....
"'Because loudspeakers sound and perform so differently, they must be chosen to their environment (the room) as well as our tastes'".
I recently purchased Magico A3's based on my room and my tastes, funny when I auditioned amps at the dealer, they had the A3's in a 40x40 room, pulled out 15' from the back wall and 15' from the side walls... who the hey has a room like that? And this is a high end well respected dealer.
I'd add to Paul's advise to consider your electronics a bit when choosing unless that's up for change too.
Good luck, this speaker journey was fun for me and I'm very happy with my choice.
