Speaker Recommendations for Audio-Research VT80

Hello,

I can purchase a gently used Audio Research VT80 from a friend for a good price.   He is getting a Audio Research 150 se.   I'm wondering what would be a good speaker pairing.  I don't have any speaker presently.  Just starting out.   Budget is up to ~$20,000, would like to stay less.   

ok, thanks

Wilson Sabrina
ARC LS 28 pre
ARC Ref CD9 or comparable DAC

Heard that combo and it is very very good.

So, maybe I should have said it this way. First, find the speaker you really want and can afford. Then, if it synergies well with Audio Research, than buy the VT 80 amp and enjoy. Of course, if it does not, pass up the good deal and get an amp/pre that pairs well with your chosen speaker. The amp/speaker interface is perhaps most important. For me it is.

Good advice for sure.
