Default speaker store

I'm looking for a place where I might find a decent selection of medium-sized bookshelf-style speakers. Just for sound reinforcement in my bedroom. 8ohms, something that handles around 30w RMS. Excellent SQ of course. I don't want to spend a TON. my amp is setup to deliver 25w to 4 channels.

any suggestions? best buy/circuit city=overpriced. I was looking at www.jandr.com, but some of their prices seem too good to be true. any thoughts?

I already have a pair of speakers that I LOVE....however my current speakers are setup for optimal listening/stereo seperation while at my desk. I am putting a ****** recliner in my bedroom adjacent to my desk that I would like to sit in to zone out and enjoy music. the problem is, using my current speakers, even if I turn them to face the recliner, it'll all be coming from my left side HELP!

The only chain I can think of would be Tweeter and Guitar Center. All the nice speaker stores are usually not chains and are run by mom and pop.
