Speakers To Use With McIntosh Receiver....

McIntosh & Klipsch sound great. Check out the Klipsch Heresy's.

Hi, I've owned that same McIntosh unit and I think I used Paradigms with it. I feel that they are an honest value for the money and they offer all types and sizes. If you want to have other speakers in the same room or play two sets at the same time, get 8 ohm speakers.

The 4100 has a highish output impedance (i.e. low damping factor) so you have to keep that in mind when choosing a speaker for it. Today's speakers have a much lower impedance in general and the 4100 will not like that.

I would suggest the JM Lab Chorus 714 which is a small floorstander. If you really want montiors, the Chorus 707s is also quite good. These JM Lab speakers will compliment the mellowness of the 4100 really nicely IMO and they have friendly impedance and sensitivity.

I see you have Thiels in your other system so I am rather sure you will like the JM Labs. Nice little setup by the way - I used to own a C712 and it was great for the money. Arthur

Klipsch are very synergistic, heritage types only in my view are worth listening to. The above mentioned Heresys are a great combination. You can find them all over and the price is variable $300-500/pair used they still make them but they are version III and the II used cheaper drivers than the I's (pre 1985 may earlier check) Gracious knows what they are upto know but if they aren't even more inexpensively made despite their princely price.
