Well, I'll stick my neck out and tell you what I think.  I would say that it sounds right now that you have a kind of undefined idea of how you understand the sounds of audio reproduction.  Sort of on the level that you know that you like something that is like a super stereo, a definite step up from Circuit City, but cannot really put your finger on anything like the 200-250 Hz region, the off angle response, the time alignment, or anything like that specifically.  You have maybe heard a lot of buzz words like soundstage, inner detail, and finely etched accuracy and you kind of understand what these mean; you can relate it to your listening experience.  And that is about the level things are on. 

Is that a fair estimate? 

So then you are at the beginning of starting to understand.

Well, I can go on and on and talk about how I could not give a recommendation for a speaker; it would be impossible.  But then again I can relate to your experience and I think if I put myself in your shoes I would give a listen to these speakers:

 These speakers may be the ultimate for you and you may be happy for many years, or they may be the beginning that sparks the deconstruction of how you understand sound.  Who knows.  But I would bet you'll enjoy the way they make music, from what you've said about yourself.
