RE: How to choose a budget......

None of the subjective opinions here will necessarily coincide with your own tastes and desires. Measurements will tell you something about the the competence of the design but not what it actually sounds like.

So what can you do? You say that for (obscure) reasons you cannot audition speakers. As they are such a personal matter depending upon price, size, room and personal taste that is difficult. I would suggest that you avoid the cheapest offers. They can afford to be cheap as that usually means that there is no service. Try to find dealers that may charge full price for the speaker but will let you return it if not satisfied after a defined period (and if in re-saleable condition - there may be a restocking fee). Then you can audition in your home until you are satisfied.

Otherwise take a pin, close your eyes and stab it at an open page in an audio magazine. Buy that.
