Klipsch Refference (if you can afford it) hands down. Or the Synergy series, though I don't know of many places that carry that model line. I have the Klipsch Refference series myself, though I don't have the rears yet. I have an RC25 Center, RB25 Fronts, and an RW10 for the bass. They just replaced the series I have with the Refference Mk 4, but principally the same...
Klipsch tend to have a huge soundstage, and an even larger presence, due to having Horn Loaded tweets, ceramic/alumium hybrid woofers, and internal wiring by Monster Cable. They can be VERY loud, with only a modest amount of power driving them. But they can easily hanlde more power than they are rated for. The speakers I have are rated for 75W max, though they can handle peaks up to a few hundred. I have all of my speakers being driven by a Marantz THX 7.1 receiver, with 10 Guage Monster Cable speaker wires, and the sub has an internal amp that is capable to over 500W when needed.
I like klipsch because they have a no-holds-barred sound to them. In your face, but doing so delicately...like a kiss on the lips. Their Forte is Jazz, or any music with a lot of Brass....they are also awesome with voices, both in surround modes and especially in stereo.
Give them a look...
