Good matching speakers for YBA Integre DT

I am constructing a new audio system here in US.

I already bought a YBA Integre DT integrated amp and Arcam CD23T cd player. Now I am looking for good matching speakers.

I know both Integre and CD23 have clean and clear sound and they sound somewhat lean. So I hope for speakers having warm, soft, and rich sound with some body and texture. Because Integre has 50 watts only so speakers with high efficiency would be better.

I mostly hear classical music, vocals, and some soft jazz. What is good matching speakers (used) at below $2000 for me? I am considering Proac 1SC and Reference 3A MM De Capo (i). But I'd like to know what are good tall-boy speakers for me because bookshelf speakers usually need good stands.

Hope for your valuable suggestions. Thank you.

Thank you for the posts, Studio1 and Darkmoebius.

But I think Focal and Darkmoebius have similar sound to YBA. They sound clean and clear but doesn't they sound somewhat sharp and lean?

I think French goods usually have their own characteristics. Of course so do British and Italian things.

I want warm and rich sound, but body and texture is also important to me. I think ATC sound is close, but they need huge power. How about Proac Response 1.5 or Spendor S5e? Can the YBA drive them well?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Darkmoebius. I will try to hear JMR Evolution 3 floorstanders. They are not so far from here fortunately.

By the way, did you hear the speakers I mentioned, Proac Response 1.5 and Spendor S5e? I think they sound vocals and strings excellantly. Would you compare those to JMR? Thanks.
