General discussion

advice needed!

Right now I've got a pair of Infinity Interlude 30's which I've had for about a year now. They're hooked up to a Denon AVR-484 receiver. I must say that after a year now they are not very impressive to my ears. Not sure if something happened to them or possible the receiver but lately they sound kinda "harsh." They highs just seem a bit too much or it just seems too pushy. Anyways, I'm thinking about upgrading to any of the following:

Fluance SX-HTB surround sound package,
Fluance SM-938 three-way towers,
Jamo X-550
Jamo E-550
MB Quart QLSP44XL

Has anybody heard any of these that they can give me some good advice?

Also, I've heard people say that sometimes a set of speakers just won't match well with certain receivers. Is this true. I've also been considering upgrading the receiver to an Onkyo TX-SR302. Would that be better?
