Speakers for an Onkyo TX-SR605 A/V Amp

[Jimi]

I've just bought an Onkyo TX-SR605 A/V Amp, at the moment I've got some Kenwood speakers off my old stereo which are ok but not great. I was thinking of getting some Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 speakers. Can anyone suggest anything else? I'm not really too clued up on speakers and such.

I'm not bothered about 5.1 or anything, two speakers will do me and I'll probably get a sub woofer at some point. I can stretch to £400 which is about the cost of two Wharfedale Diamond 9.6s.

I would look for some quad 21l or 22ls on ebay or similar.

Mordaunt-Short 906i or 916i (i have the 916i... £350 at a big hifi retailer at the moment... they sound awesome quite frankly).
Monitor Audio BR5s (On sale at a different Oaky hifi retailer for £300 ish).

Not sure how either of these will pair with the 605 but both are very nice floorstanding speakers (and they look great, especially in black). Try and get a demo before you buy.
