I've done a writeup very similar to this before, but I can't seem to find it now.
I think that Quad speakers have the best bang for your buck (hence why I've got some). I was looking at spending around $8000 on speakers when I got my Quads. I was looking at B&W 800 and 700 series, Martin Logan, Opera, and Paradigm. I ended up spending less than half that on the Quads that I have.
I think a big reason for this is the ribbon tweeter. It has all of the detail of a metal tweeter without the fatigue, so they're easy to listen to. They also sound great with every type of music that I throw at them. Rock, classical, jazz, pop, etc. all sound great.
In terms of subwoofer, yes you should get one. However, I think you'd be better off getting speakers and an amp and adding a subwoofer later.
If I were spending that amount of money on a system right now, it would be a pair of Quad S-2 with plans to add a REL subwoofer, as well as a Marantz PM6006. I say this because I've gone down the path before and I've listened to quite a few speakers and amplifiers, and I think Quad and Marantz go great together, and they both offer excellent price to performance.
Let me know what you think.
