So what components are right for you? That depends. Even if you intend on making all of your purchases online, you're going to have to do some field work. Never rely on technical specifications when buying speakers. Trust your own ears. Even the most rigorous laboratory testing can't account for personal taste. Most retailers have showrooms capable of demo-ing any speakers in combination with any receiver on the floor. Play around until your heart is content, it's your money, so spend it wisely. If you do intend on shopping on the internet, just be sure to jot down the model numbers of the components that you like the best.
Never feel pressured into buying anything and never settle. If you can't find anything you like at one store, find a second, or third. Your dream system is out there waiting for you, but like a beautiful woman, don't expect it to come to you. And lastly, don't wait on putting together a system because you want to wait and see "where the technology is going." If you maintain this philosophy, you'll never buy anything at all.
