Thanks a lot, I am actually going to be in LA tonight so I am going to try and call the guy. Also, wouldn't the second vandersteen set be better than the klipsch. Do you just prefer the Klipsch because of the price?

Yeah, those Vandersteen 2Cis would be much better than the Klipsches. They're an all-time classic speaker! The V.1s are also probably much better than the Klipsches. You're right - I just highlighted the KG 4.5s because that price is very good. Oh, and it's a much more sensitive speaker, so the Vandys would probably benefit from a more powerful amplifier (for playing at loud volumes) more so than the Klipsch.
You might want to try offering lower on either of the Vandys; perhaps $400 for the 2s.
That's a really big bedroom! You should have plenty of space for them to breathe.
Here's a Stereophile review for the Vandy 2C: http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/914
No monitor will compete with these except perhaps in detail in the highs. If you've got the room, it's definitely an advantage to go for floorstanding speakers. Of course, monitors have their place - and can indeed sound great.
