Speaker recomendation

I just bought a second home and the room where the new system will go is quite large (60’x20’) with a wall of windows.  I’m looking for a pair of speakers that will be more for listening in position close to the system but that can still move enough air for when we have lots of people over.  Budget is about $10-15K for an amp and speakers.  I have a Moon 340i but fear it doesn’t have enough power to move the speakers I’ll get.  I was thinking about Golden Ear reference but my wife and I are more classical and jazz listeners and these are better for rock?  Suggestions appreciated!

I wonder whether the dealers realise that the less they say the better. How about letting their gear speak for itself?

As long as you have a vested financial interest in promoting your own stock you should refrain from doing so.

Anything less smacks of dishonesty.

The ATC drivers are custom built and many believe them to be the best in existence as far as engineering goes (Harbeth, Magico, Vivid, and others may disagree). The sheer weight of the magnet is a shock. 

The weak point used to be the cabinets but they've been upgraded too. The main criticism now seems to be that they might be too good or too honest if you prefer. You may not like how some recordings actually sounded like in the studio as opposed how they were intended to sound like in the home. 

Upshot is that they are a must listen in this price range.
