Meh.
I have to honest, I think high end speakers are a waste of money 99% of the time. Polk, Klipsch and Bose all make reasonable priced speakers that will sound great. I used a tiny pair of Bose 201 'bookshelf' speakers for years, and people would comment on how great the sound was. They couldn't believe it was coming from those tiny boxes.
