Ian,
You have done more research than 99% of the people who come here asking for speaker recommendations. All we can tell them is to audition as many different models and buy what sounds good to you in your price range. Now once you get them in, you will still have to set them up and calibrate them. But we will still be here for any questions.
I see you mentioning subwoofer cables but no sub has been mentioned. What are you using / buying?
I only use Eggleston as my example because I've had a chance to tour the factory, talk to an owner and get an hour session listening to the Savoys. Based on the parts and labor that goes into those speakers and selling them through a dealer, the MSRP is on target for a low volume manufacturer. Those guys are as crazy about sound quality as I am only my budget is a LOT lower. That's why I am finishing up a set of 3 Dayton III's http://www.speakerbuilder.net/web_files/Projects/D3/dayton3.htm and will finally give my current speakers back to their rightful owner (a family member).
