Choosing the best speakers for my system.

Hello everyone. I am currently attempting to build a vinyl listing system. I am a musician and currently only have a stanton str-150 (built in preamp), running through a mackie mixer into some behringer BX5's.

I have saved up some money and I am pretty set on getting the following:
Clearaudio Emotion Turntable
Mesa Boogie Baron Power Amp

I will be listing to a lot of more aggressive music, rock, metal, electronica etc.

I have little control of my room size as I will be moving soon.

I am looking for a good 2.0 or 2.1 speaker set up and suggestions on a good preamp for the Clearaudio turntable.

I am considering some magnepan mg1.6 qr's (with or without a sub??) or maybe some Gallo Referance 3.1's (with or without sub??)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Go with the Technics.
Stay far away from Maggies, power hungry, hard to set up and not really a "metal" type of speaker.
You need a pre and phono pre. Consider an Adcom, parasound or B&K with built in phono.
PSB's are a great choice. The older ones really have slam, are efficient and are not fatiguing (stratus series).
