I agree with the Vandy recommendations, they will fill a room with very pleasant sound with decent quality solid state gear. A friend had a Vandy system with all Adcom gear and it sounded very nice on all music. They sound especially good biwired, maybe it has to do with the passive woofer but the bass tightens a great deal biwired.
Also do not cut corners with wire, I believe you will get better sound with cheaper speakers (maybe Vandy 1B's) and better wire than the other way around (within reason)
