So I just bought a Hegel H390 and

I am building a new system and I just bought a H-390.  It should arrive by the end of the week.  I want to get new to me speakers to go with it. So if you’ve have or have had a Hegel H-390 or a H-590,  what speakers under $10.000 sounded the best.  And I guess I should probably get some wires also.  Nothing crazy, but not zip cord.

Thanks.

Congrats on a very wise choice of amp. A friend has the 590 with Focal Kanta 2s in a room similar size of yours. I thought it would be a little bright for my tastes but it was not. 
The beauty of the Hegel is it can run sensitive or not so sensitive speakers so you have many choices. Several good ones above and
in another 12 months you might manage to hear them all.
You can go for max detail, max warmth or somewhere in between.
Open Baffle, Box or planar/electrostatic are all quite different.
Get some good XRCDs and start listening. 1st stop RMAF in Denver
in October. Love to know what you buy.

Okay you erred by buying the INT ahead of the speakers but you
made a great choice so you're not boxed in.

The most musical sounding Speaker we heard at a recent event was the
Sonus Faber Electra Amator 3. Fits your price range. 
In a smaller room a 3 way might not work. That speaker is one of the sweetest sounding I've ever heard. Quit reading now and buy it!

In your 15 x 15 room consider headphones or at maybe some
LS 3/5s in near field configuration. Or just save your money.
