Speakers to mate with McIntosh gear


Hello,

I have a 13 X 16 X 8.5' room that I use a McIntosh C2200 preamp and MC402 amp in. My source is an Esoteric DV-50S. The room doubles as a HT arrangement as well as 2 channel. Currently, I own the Dynaudio C1's and though a wonderful speaker for jazz and classical (and I do listen to these genres too) I find it too forward and thin sounding (partic. in bass) when listening to folk rock and rock. I'd like your opinions on a floorstander for my room that is a great all rounder in music and home theater and can dig a little deeper in the bass. Thanks all. Budget would be no more than 4500 USD.

Thank you for your input. I was however looking at a more modern speaker and look. No offence, just not my taste in esthetics.
THank you everyone for your kind input. I was looking for input on a pair of medium floorstanders to mate with the current Macintosh design and that are secondly, not obtrusive and modern looking. Yes, some of your suggestions above certainly work lovely, but I was hoping for some suggestions like Totem, Sonus Faber, Merlin, PMC, Dynaudio, Usher, etc. and perhaps your direct experience with the new C2200 preamp, MC402 amp, Esoteric DV-50S source and Purist Audio cabling. Thanks all and have a good weekend. Dave
