Good starter speaker


Hello,

I am currently planning out a 2 channel system and I already purchased a used Rogue preamp.  The audio visual store that I like to deal with has a trade up program for speakers as long as the trade up is twice as much as the original purchase, which I’m fine with.  I am trying to keep the budget as low as possible at this point.  Here are the speaker brands that they carry:

Aerial Acoustics, Audio Engine, B&W, Emotiva, KEF, Klipsch Heritage, Klipsch, Linn, Martin Logan, Paradigm, Paradigm Persona, PSB, Soundcast, Spendor, SVS, Terra, Totem Acoustics, Totem Element.

Where would be a good place to start knowing that a year later I can upgrade without losing my initial investment?  Also, any suggestions concerning a powered amp in the 700-1500 range would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Roland

Thank you all for the great advise.  I’ll definitely go there and listen to different setups to see what I like.  I guess I am looking at 2k or so for speakers at this point and then in a year trade them in.  
Soix and gdnrbob, thank you for your input.  I am really excited about putting together my system  and input like this is really helpful!
