Speakers for Yamaha AS2100


Hello all, 

was recently able to purchase a Yamaha as2100 for a really good price and was wondering what speakers would pair well with it. Budget for speakers will be $2k but am flexible. Was wondering if I could get some feedback from any AS2100 owners. Looking for bookshelf speakers preferably. Listen to a bit of everything but mainly jazz and 80s music. Will not be playing at ear splitting volumes as I live in an apartment. And feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

best,

Mike

I have a Yamaha A-S2100 in black, very happy with this integrated amp, great phono preamp is a bonus ! I already had Martin Logan XT-60's , happy with them but the "home theater " profile wasn't doing it for me in the aesthetics department. They are well made, but a little boring in black lacquer and a hulking presence in my listening room.   I did a lot of online/You Tube searches this fall and pulled the trigger on a pair of  walnut Wharfedale Linton's with the matching stands. This is a large bookshelf speaker that certainly checks the room aesthetics box. They just arrived from Music Direct, still boxed. I have 45 days to return them. 

I will get them out after Christmas, any A-S2100/ A-S1100 owners out there have experience with this Yamaha/ Wharfedale Linton combo ?  Thanks.
