I usually tell people the basics, then add "If you hear a set of speakers that you really dig, then by all means buy them. If they make you happy, then they are just fine".
IMHO, there are so many variables to what people like and dislike, it's almost impossible to give anybody a clear direction to what they want. They will have to trust their own ears and weigh that with their bank accounts. Personally I love to have a nice set of Magnaplaynes in my listening room (aka the Man Cave). I've heard them, loved how they sound when they are coupled with a decent dynamic woofer, but can I justify spending $10K+ on a pair? Nope. That's why I cheaped out and built my own 1/4 wave Transmission Lines. To me they sound pretty damn good, but some people said they sound way too bassy in the low end (40hz) and some said they have too much midrange. Oh well. They handle Mussorgsky pretty well.
I think the Vulcans said it best:
