Michael,
Try reading "Are you on the road to audio hell" at www.audionote.co.uk. If a speaker is accurate it should bring forth whatever is on the software. A really good speaker that is described as "good with classical" or "good with rock" usually means that it has a lot of limitations that different types of music brings out.
"Rock" speakers lack microdynamics, "small ensemble" types lack the macrodynamics that other types of music requires. That is why we have a subtitle on our website, "No Compromises". If you find yourself making excuses for your system's limitations because "it really does the midrange right" or something lame like that, it's time to get a divorce from that system. You will hear such a difference even after just a 100-200 hour break-in from "normal" speakers that you will not be able to listen to something else again without thinking "It's too bad they aren't really hearing the music". I was just a typical guy at a show when I heard the old Prometheus I's and knew that I had found the potential for a really musical sounding system.
Regarding your second question, I would go for the top level kit and be done with it. Unless you are a avid kit builder and like messing with things constantly, "Buy the best and cry once"! Do you want to break in the darn things TWICE? Ouch!!!! The regular tweeters don't take as much time to break in as the upgraded units but why break in the wideband and then a year later have to endure another couple hundred hours of less than blissfull sound. Also, you may want to get a break in disc from AudioAdvisor to speed the process. Hope this helps. BTW, Steve Earle's Train A' Coming sounds killer on the speakers.
