Definitive Technology BP 30

Cornwall IIs for 400.00 is a steal. I have owned them in the past as well as Def. Tech speakers (BP 2000) and to my ears the CW is the superior speaker for music. Home theater might tip the scales the other way slightly.

Buy the cornwalls and recap them. Even if you don’t keep them, you can probably flip them for at least a grand, if in good shape.

i've heard the powered version of the definitive speakers and they're fine, but relatively low on the audio foodchain--you see 'em used for a few hundred bucks. your yamaha otoh is a very well-regarded, $4k amp which i'd expect would really shine with better speakers-- i'd look at some of the highly touted brands that @soix suggests. 

I can always buy back my Klipsch Cornwall 2s for 400$ and get them recapped  but they are so huge. 

As the AS2200 is a touch on the warm side it probably is a decent match with those older aluminum tweeters, but the BP30s can certainly be greatly improved upon. It’s a lot of speaker for the $$$ especially if you prize low bass and don’t use subs, but speakers from the likes of Vandersteen, Joseph Audio, ProAc, Usher, Totem, Sonus Faber, Clayton, etc. will offer much higher quality components and refinement and take more advantage of what your nice amp can deliver. Definitely time for an upgrade IMHO, and I’d highly recommend going out and listening to some newer speakers and/or going to an audio show to see what you might like. 

Well, actually, in my mind they are only a good match if you like a really bright sound.

Had a pair of BP10's years ago.  They did not last long in my system. How Sandy Gross voiced a soft dome tweeter to sound so irritatingly bright and edgy I will never know.  

As I understand it, Yamaha gear is a bit on the brighter side on neutral so on paper would not be my choice for a good pairing.

But all of this means nothing if you're happy!

I had them since 2000 and sold my Klipsch Cornwalls 2s for 300,$. I just didn't have room for them and I was getting into home theater back then. Bought a Pioneer Elite rear projection Boston rears and Peradym center. Thanks for infermarating.

Yes indeed! Keep and enjoy the BP30/AS2200 combination!
