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

@willland I recently purchased the Canton Vento Reference 9 DC from Accessories for Less, and they are remarkable speakers.  It's hard to believe that they are being sold for such a low price.  And there's a 30-day return policy, so you are only out return shipping.  Pretty amazing deal.
The Cantons are very well made - sturdy, beautiful finish, high quality binding posts.  They are a nice balance of warmth and detail.  Good bass for a standmount speaker so the music has a nice foundation in my 16x12 room.  The midrange is resolving without being overly forensic.  And the treble is very easy to listen to but is still extended and clear.  I find it to be a very complete speaker - I notice the music rather than the speaker when I sit down for a listening session.  I'm driving them with an integrated that puts out 135 watts into 8ohms and 240 into 4. That's more than enough power for my room.  They've worked out very well for me in my system.
