Speaker for McIntosh setup


I am looking for suggestions on a good set of speakers to match up to a vintage McIntosh system. I currently have a McIntosh C29 and two MC2205 amps to power these speakers. All these units have been recapped and meet original specs. I am looking to spend in the $5k range.


I need some suggestions on speakers to match with this system. I live in a remote area to access true audio shops so I thought I would create a short list and make a road trip to hear them in person.

Note: The system is in a large great room.

Thanks in advance.

Redwood, 
I have a new pair of Heresy's with my Mac 240 and I am completely enthralled. For me the set up just sounds like a perfect fit. I added an SVS PB 2000 and that really rounded everything out. This is the sound I've been chasing for so long now. Mostly listen to jazz and rock of all kinds. I used to sell TDL transmission lines and owned three pair over the years. Great neutral sounding speaker, harder to drive, fickle with amplification and set up. But these Klipsch Heresy's have really opened up my listening experience. I know there are a couple camps when it comes to horn loaded drivers and I was a hold out for a very long time. I picked mine up from Audio Classics in NY. They were great to work with and since I had about a 6 hour drive to get to them, Audio Classics had several set up for my listening session. If you are anywhere near them do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Ryan.
