Looking for speaker recs to go with Blue Circle


I (will) have a Blue Circle BC3 preamp and BC28 hybrid amp. I also have an Electrocompaniet EMC-1 CD player. I currently have Tannoy D500 speakers. I'm happy with these speakers plus my wife likes them, but I have not done an extensive speaker search. I happened upon the Tannoys. What speakers would you recommend I consider? I like bluegrass, follk, classical, jazz, ambiant/space music, plus some rock. My listening room is large -- about 24x14x9 high -- with wodden floors and the usual living room acroutments. I actually don't have a dedicated listening position, so good sound off-axis is important plus low volume capabilities. Looking for more of a full-range floor stander than a mini, but I'm open minded. The speakers face long-wise (I know, bad position). I'm looking for an involving speaker, not overly warm nor analytical, and not bright. Something that talks music, something that communicates the instruments and voices as they should be. Not analytical accuracy, but musical accuracy. The Tannoys actually work pretty good. Can I better them? Thanks!

Viggen, You're right. On the one hand I'm saying I'm really happy with the Tannoys and on the other I'm asking for additional recs. I just need something to waste time pondering in the audio world now that the rest of my system is fine ; )

Right now I'm using a mix of Harmonic Tech Truthlinks and Kimber Silverstreaks. I've always liked the Harmonic techs and I got the Kimber to go with my passive preamp (the manufacturer highly recommended them). But, I just ordered some new Audience Au24 interconnects, partly because they are a lot more flexible. Also, Bob Neill, who reviews for Positive Feedback and Enjoy the Music, has a Blue Circle system and his taste in sound is similar to mine so I followed his rec for the Audience interconnects.
