I hate suggesting it, but everyone has one near them, go to a Best Buy and test speakers.
They do have plenty to test and this is what I take:
~3 CDs (classic, rock, heavy)
~DVD (Depending on the setup at the BB, you can test a good DVD with the speaker setup)

After Best Buy I would start searching for some smaller home theater shops that have show rooms, they will stock other brands (both cheaper & more expensive).

Sadly tweeter closed last year that hurt me badly. But that is also how my neighbor got his LSi 25's for 900 bucks for the set plus the center!

Except mine, it is so small they only have speakers on shelf's. the closest one that has a room is about 50 minutes from me.

But hey I go there sometimes.

That sucks, then you might want to hit up some smaller shops and see what listening rooms they have. Though some I have been to have basically 5,000USD per speaker setups only, which his fun to test and a blast to talk to the owner but waaay out of my price range.

Oh ya, we had one opened 4 months ago it was a HT specialist and than closed about 9 weeks ago. I do not make this stuff up I like in the open and closing area. It blows!!
