Speakers for newbie

@Seditious3 - room is about 18x22 and i think i will be 12ish feet away.

@Bob_raynolds - you gave me lots of homework. :) Nice suggestions though

Good thing about NHT that they are made in Benitia, 40 miles away. They have a showroom. So i'll be able to listen to them.

HSU and wharfedale Jade's look promissing. I wish I could listen to them before i buy them.

@Eslaudio - the totem line is also 4ohm :/

@Tonyangel - thx for your input? Do you have any suggestions?
You said to stay away from B&W, does that includes also the bookshelf speakers, the 6** line series?

Just because your amp is rated at 8 ohms does not necessarily mean it can't drive a 6 ohm or even a 4 ohm speaker safely--particularly if you're not planning to crank it up to maximum volume. It might be worth contacting Marantz (or a good dealer) directly to inquire whether there is truly threat of damage if you use lower impedance speakers. It might open up your speaker options considerably.
