Speakers with Rotel amp


I'd like to get suggestions for speakers that match well with the Rotel RB-991 amp using the Rotel RX-975 as a pre-amp. I don't have room for electrostatics and enjoy jazz, classical and female vocals(Bonnie Raitt/Diana Krall). Thanks

Am demoing Thiels 1.5s this weekend with the Rotel. Got a new interconnect for my CD to receiver and it has made big difference(much warmer and fuller sound from my old SONY) My dealer also gave me a Cal Audio CL-5 CD player to try with this combo, but it seem a little bright with the Rotel. Any suggestions for amps that match well with Thiels 1.5s ? Will probably try to demo Vandes next weekend. Does anyone have an opinion about the Cal Audio CL-5 ? Thanks
thiels are not very forgiving(ie if you amp/pre are not good they'll tell you) the vandys are a speakers that" do alot of things right and very little wrong) and will work with all types of equipment. They have a good amount of bass for you classical and jazz. another set to cosider are the jmlab cobalts
I use PSB Stratus Golds they shine on classical music. I mainly listen to jazz but I can tell what these speakers were designed to play. Audition them they can be had for around 1900.00 new if you know where to look, ask me, I know where, or used for as little as 1300.00 a pair. Also give Paradigms studio 100v2 a listen. Always liked their speakers but never really pushed me over the edge, this new speaker does. I have heard them with Rotel amps as my local dealer has a demo set up with this combination. Nice bass, great soundstage .
I tried the Thiel 1.5s at home this weekend driven only the by the Rotel receiver. My dealer also let me try a Cal Audio CL-5 CD player with a pair of silver Audio Quest Interconnects. I am using Monster speaker cable I elevated the speakers about 8 inches off the floor which made a big difference in bringing out the full spectrum of sound of the Thiels. They are a perfect size for my room and listening distance. I loved the definition of the CL-5 except for some of the highs. My dealer has suggested copper interconnects rather than silver to help tame the highs. I can get a decent deal on a demo Linn Majik amp($990) to go with the Thiels. Thought these might sound good with the copper cables and the Cal audio CL-10 CD player which has wonderful reviews on Audioreview. Any advice ? Thanks
