Speakers/Cables to go w/ Audio Aero and McIntosh

I just fell into a really neat commission and promptly purchased the newest audio aero capitole cd player and the McIntosh 2102 tube amp. Assuming my luck holds, I can soon afford some speakers and thoughts on cables are also appreciated. Yes, I know how much speakers are subjective. I am insulting the system with Bose 901's (ouch!). Actually, the Bose 901's can handle acoustic light rock rather well.....but the 'WHO' sound awful. I am a 40-something and I like classic rock. On cables there seems to be lots of enthuiasism for Acoustic Zen products, I am sold unless someone can talk me out of it---at least as far as the digital RCA connect from my Marantz DVD player into the Audio Aero

I use Audience Au24 interonnects (balanced and unbalanced) and speaker cables in my Mcintosh system. To my ears they are perfect. They are very, very good, but the "perfect" label is applied because they are small and easy to manage. At about a mid-level price point. I previously had Acoustic Zen Satori speakers cables and I prefer the Au24. I've also had good luck with Harmonic Tech interconnects.

I use Tannoy D500 speakers with this sytem as well. I love them. They are good with any kind of music and should be great with classic rock. They are hard to find, but any Tannoy dealer should be able to get them for you.
