Speaker suggestions to go with MAC gear please


Hi all. I've recently acquired a McIntosh C2200 tube pre and MC2102 tube amp and am looking for suggestions for speakers that mate well with these two. I currently have VA Beethovens which I do like alot but am looking for something different to try. My budget is up to $5K new or used. I mainly listen to vocals, older rock, acoustical music. Actually vocals are the most important aspect. I'd like to hear the singer in the room with me.

The other gear which I will use is Cary 303 (which will be next to go as the upgrade money allows); Music Hall mm-7 for vinyl and Cardas GF cables.
Thanks! Mike.

I heard that amp and pre-amp combo when I auditioned Monitor
Audio Speakers -- sounded great. Try it with the GR-60's. *I*
personally have the older Studio 60's, which I absolutely love
and that's what I heard with the Mac gear. I would also think Revel
F-50's would sound great with your gear and I see them advertized for around $5,000 used here on a-gon from time to time. I also
think a set of Sonus Faber Cremonas would pair up really nicely
with your gear -- you might be able to get a pair for around 5,000
used. See if you can find the dealers and give those speakers a listen.
