Speakers to go with my Cyrus 7

[Matt..]

I have had my Cyrus 7 for ~5yrs now and really do like it. However, i have also been suffering with awful speakers for that time. I am now considering an upgrade if it can be made for a reasonable amount.

My amp is plugged into my media PC which uses an M-Audio Revolution soundcard, and mostly plays mp3s. The PC and therefore amp/speakers are also used for TV and films.

What i am looking for are some small(ish) floorstand speakers that can give a good sound in a room of approx 4x4m (current room is larger, though i am likely to move soon). The budget is approx £250-£500, and i have no problem going second hand.

My music tastes are somewhat varied, but are generally hip hop and indie (you can see what i listen to here: http://last.fm/user/matt345/). These aren't the usual Cyrus genres, but i really like the amp!

If anyone would be able to give suggestions as to what to go for then that would be greatly appreciated. I have in the past demoed speakers, though i find it difficult, and am never really 100% on whether i want to buy, so dont want to waste the shops time!


Thanks
