With light gray walls and dark wood, it's best to get super great sounding loudspeakers.
I'm with the same cap but seeking for a good pair of bookshelves -- KEF LS50 mini monitor has tons of great feedbacks online, and you probably want to check that out too if your room is not huge.
BTW, if you search for KEF LS50 online, you may see the ads of <$1000 pair by www.independentaudiovideo.com. Caution -- I tried but 2 days after I got confirmation email, I was called that they cancelled my order because they don't have it any more. They still ran that ads weeks later. It's esp. fishy that if you call their sales number or customer service number, you'll get "$100 free voucher if you may $$ processing fee" promotion or a discount cruise ticket. So it's very likely that I just leaked my credit card info to them. Don't make the same mistake like I did.
I found some sites that sell certain speakers for cheap but they're not authorized resellers and you will not have factory warranty. I'm going to purchase my speakers from a local dealer.
I crossed off the MMG and Vandersteen speakers because I am going to put them on my family room and I don't want huge looking speakers. I'm leaning towards the RX6 or new Silver 6 because of the slim tower they have. I'm trying to spend $1500 for the pair and spend the rest on a decent AVR.
