Which home speakers?

Why do modern speakers sound sound `thin` for want of a better word?
I bought some new speakers for my hi-fi seperates system just so they would match the decor a bit better and be slightly smaller than the old ones I had.

I Spoke to a few hi-fi mad mates,read a few what? guides in mags and online all recommending different stuff.
I went and listened to some of the suggested speakers.
The wharfdale sounded good for the money,I had got fed up by now also.(Verylow shopping/boredom threshold)
I bought some online but after a few weeks I returned to the Celestion counties I have had for twenty years they make a much more natural sound,
They are just old fashioned to look at in dark brown wood,atleast it`s real wood.

Minor hijack.

I was considering a pair of speakers around the same price - whats a respectable similarly priced amp to go with them?

Well I have a Cambridge Azur 340 and I'm really happy with it - it looks cool, the remote control is really nice and What Hifi gave it a 5* review so it can't be too bad.
