I got lucky when I was auditioning speakers. My dealer carried Avalon, Quad, ProAc, Joseph Audio (another good slim floor stander) and at the time had a pair of Verity speakers. I'd heard JM Labs, Alon, Paradigm, PSB, Totem, B&W (which I was replacing). I finally found a sound I liked in Avalon (well, I REALLY liked the Quads, but no way I had the room for them), and one Saturday they had the just introduced Symbols in their listening room. As I said, perfect size, great sound.
Even if you live in an area like I do where there are lots of dealers to sample from it's a really difficult task to audition speakers. Since I've lost my room and all my gear is packed in the closet I've moved to headphones, something I never thought I'd do. I'll tell you, they are much easier to audition; order from Amazon or Headroom, listen, decide, return, repeat until satisfied.
My best advice would be to be patient and don't buy something until you find a speaker you really like, especially at the $ you are looking to spend.
Best of luck.
