I agree, as great as the CLR is, for home enjoyment use only it's probably overkill for most folks. Get a decent pair of studio monitors, any one of the ones you've already listed sounds fine, and you'll be set.
No need to overspend or sacrifice stereo, which seems not a wise advice IMHO. I'd go for E8 or JBL 308P cus cheaper price. HS8, you pay more cus it's so popular, but if you like the pretty white woofer, go for it. SC204, you're probably not going to have as much fun playing through it, and since full rich sound is the goal, go for 8" monitors.
Have you tried a CLR personally ??
