If you absolutely cannot decide on a speaker, at least choose from a company where you can have a trial period.
I think that it'd be hard for you to not like the $300 Epos speakers, but if you wish to be on the safer side, companies like Axiom Audio, Ohm, Omega, and etc. all sell with money-back guarantees. www.axiomaudio.com would be a great place to get a 300 dollar speaker. In fact, their M22ti is a REALLY good option, for under 500 dollars. If I remember correctly, it could also be under 400 dollars.
Whatever you do, make sure that you keep my recommendation for the power amp. That amp is surely one of the best available purchases in that market today. The Parasound is not only cheap but sounds fantastic.
I, personally, like the Epos speakers better -- but the Axioms are also great, and they also do offer the 30-day trial period. The only expense you'd have to pay is the shipping to get it back to their headquarters. They refund your purchase and everything.
On the other hand, the Epos speakers are available at many great, reputable dealers, who may in fact offer you a trial period as well. Since Music Hall distributes Epos to the United States, try giving ToddTheVinylJunkie a call and see if he can sell you a pair. Todd sells Music Hall gear, so it wouldn't be surprising if he could special order you a pair. He'll give you a great price and great service, in addition.
Whatever you choose, good luck. Just don't end up buying PC speakers!
