I do not want a system for my TV, I would like to be able to sit and listen to music and read. There seems to be a different set of speakers recommended by everyone I ask... Is it the watts, the size, or is it the unit they are connected too?

There are a lot of good manufacturers, and it depends on your listening needs and habits. Stay away from the low-end junk they sell at places like Rex and circuit city. You get what you pay for, to a point. At some point, there are diminishing returns for extra investment. At what level? For me, I'd say you should be able to buy a decent pair (a pair is all you need for straight-up music listening) between 300-600 bucks. I'm not crazy about Bose. I think they're WAY overpriced.
For the money, I like Wharfedales, JBL's, Klipsch, Polk, Boston Acoustics, and Infinities. Stay away from Pioneer, Kenwood, Yamaha, Sony, etc.

Well... the one way to improve any system is to purchase lamp wire and use that instead of the thin junk that come with your stereo. Second, it is best to listen to speakers so that you can hear how the speakers work with the music and your stereo system. If you can not listen to the system with each selection of speakers then consider the range of the speakers. Bose has good range, reasonable watts and in smaller then usual sizes.

It's determined by "your" ears. You hear differently than anyone else, and since this system is gonna be for "you", go down to a couple of different stereo shops and, (in their sound room), have the guy play different stereos through different speaker systems and then "YOU" decide which combination sounds best to you... there's NO better way, trust me!!!
(Oh yeah, (I almost forgot), take your favorite music CD with you so they can play the same song over and over again on each system so that you can tell the difference!).

take a few of your favourite Cd's to the lcoal hifi shop (not bestbuy)
tell them how much you are willing to spend, what kind of equipment you have now and what you want to acheive
the right store will have speakers setup to try with your cd's
they will also select brands and types based onthe type of music you listen to
