Looking for advice on 2 Channel system


Hi, I have decided to leave the Home threater where it is and have a room for 2 channel only. I Would appreciate recommandations for speakers and pre-amp. I would like to use the BAT VK500 amp I already have. Room size is 20 X 14' and budget for speakers (that can be bi-amped in the future) and pre-amp is around $10,000 for used equipment. Listen to rock, jazz, classical in that order. There are some great looking speakers on Audigon and pre-amps I just don't know which to choose and can't audition many.

As above, staying with BAT for a preamp sounds like a good idea. For speakers I would highly recommend the Infinity Prelude MTSs. Top to bottom, they are the most neutral, well rounded speaker I have heard near their price. They offer a built in sub system that easily lets you optimize bass (in your room!) that extends down to an honest 20Hz. They integrate seamlessly to the upper range drivers, which are ‘panel like’ in speed and imaging (and they ain‘t bad looking either). I also own a pair of Apogee Mini Grands. While they can play jazz and classical phenomenally well, they really can’t play rock to the same standard. That’s why I love the Prelude MTSs, they really can do it all. Something to consider since you …< Listen to rock, jazz, classical in that order>.

Have fun...IMHO two channel, done right, is the way to go.
