Speakers for a Classe CA-201

I am dying to get something new in my system and am thinking about new speakers. I have Totem Model One Signatures at the moment backed up by an NHT SubTwo. The amp is a Classe CA-201 with an Adcom GFP-750 preamp. My current source is a Rega Planet primarily but I am not going to replace it until I find an SACD player that I cannot live without. Cardas cross biwire wires connect the speakers, an RCA pair of crosses goes from CD to Preamp and I am putting in Red Rose's new premier interconnect with XLR between the amp and preamp as soon as they come. Thanks for your input everyone (P.S. Please avoid LP recommendations, I am looking into vinyl setups right now but want to familiarize myself a lot more with the options before I buy anything)

Thiel loudspeakers are often mentioned in the same breath as Classe' amps. I've owned both the 1.5s and the 2.3s, and really like them for their detailed sound. What don't you like about your Totems? That information would help others to see where you want to go with your system. -Wayne

If your room can handle it I would recommend you look into a pair of Maggies, i.e., 1.6, 2.7 or 3. I am vary familar with Maggie, Classe, and Adcom match. This is a good system match. The subwoofer you have may or may not be a good match. For full enjoyment run the Maggies with a subwoofer. I have had good luck with a M&K THX 150, however, other prefer the Carver Cube or its equal.

Replacing the Totems is motivated by two things: one, I am going to put them in a second system, two, although I like the sub very much, I want primary speakers with better extension. The Totems have wonderful speed and detail but I want more body from the speakers.
