What you should do is to go to all of your local audio stores, and listen to all of the types of speakers that you can find (e.g., ribbon, horn, dome, whatever), of as many brands as you can stand to listen to, of all of the types of music to which you listen, to music with which you are familiar (making a CDR for this is a good idea), that are within your price range. Then pick the ones you personally like best.
Take your time, and do not buy anything the first day you go do this.
Different people have very different taste when it comes to speakers, and so one person's favorite is another person's hated model. The reason for this is the fact that speakers are all less than ideal, and different people can tolerate different faults better than others.
