I have been following this thread since it started, and I can sense the frustration of other members and I understand why...
Wim1983, you're asking good questions. And people are giving good advice. The problem is this is like asking people what kind of candy bar you should go buy based on how different candy bars taste to other people. Whether it's Wharfedale, or Wilson Benesch, or Willy Wonka Speakers, none of them will sound the same to you as they sound to me because our ears are different and depending on age and physical condition we'll likely perceive frequencies differently.
I'm going to be blunt here - there is absolutely positively no way around this, you are going to have to go do some auditions and make some purchases and just listen for yourself. You're going back and forth about specs, and reviews, and numbers on paper, and all of that is noise. Again, it's not that different from reading ingredients on the back of a candy bar wrapper and trying to figure out how it will taste. You just have to listen to as many as you can in your area, and then buy the best you can. If you don't like it, buy something else.
Every person on this forum had to do this...there's no shortcut - you are going to have to buy and learn, and eventually you'll end up with speakers you enjoy, and it may even happen on the very first try.
