Help! Deciding btwn several 2.5K spkrs


I've been listening to quite a few speakers in the $2,500 range and would love to hear any input on those I am considering--JM Lab Cobalt 820, Linn 5140, Kef Reference 2.2, Vienna Acoustics Mozart. I'm using a Linn Majik integrated amp, which is rated at 60 watts. I know that speakers are a personal choice, but it would be helpful to hear any of your experiences with these products, whether you think any would not match well with my amp, or if you think all of my choices are utter crap! Also, am I correct in eliminating from consideration all 4 ohm speakers due to my limited wattage? Thanks!!!!!

Mr. Goldsmith, your amp will be 33w into the 8ohm. Majik is , 66watts, only if drives 4 ohm speakers! Linn 5140, is great speaker, however it demands 50w or more, into the 8ohm! So, Majik wouldn't be sufficient with that particular speaker. Maybe, you could get another Linn amp, like lk 85, and you could bi-amp 5140's. With Majik driving LF, and "sweeter" LK-85 HF? I think that would be great match-up? Good Luck!
