I'd ignore any reviews that don't provide a host of measurements. Even well intentioned subjectivist sites get it wrong more often than right.
Go here, click on speakers, sort by price, and follow the preference score (generally around 5+ is an excellent speaker on the low end), then read specific reviews for more detail about their strengths/weaknesses:
There are a handful of brands, while not cheap, that provide excellent value as up/down their lines they are nearly infallible, such as Genelec, Revel, and Neumann. There are also some that are usually excellent such as Kef.
