Justin,
Like Mikeski said, if you have a chance to demo/listen, that is always going to be best. With that being said, all you have mentioned are great. Don't limit NVS to the 1010's. The Addictions and Tyrants are also very nice. As far as the Rubicons, the 250's are more towards the entry end. You need to consider the 350's or 450's, which have 8", and HLCD's. In my opinion, that (Pro-audio components) is the only way to go. I am considering upgrading my speakers very soon. Wish demo's were easier to come by
