The thing about speakers is, they are the heart of any sound system. You can have the best amp and cd player in the world, but if you don't spend the money on some great speakers, it will sound like crap.
And if you have great speakers, they will make a cheap amp sound great. So get the best speakers you can afford and you will never be sorry.
And it is always subjective, what sounds great to me might sound like crap to you. So buy what you like, and never pay any attention to what others say, if it makes you happy, then so be it.
