Wanted... Advice - Best Speaker for McIntosh Amp

Help Please. I'm building my first 2 channel system in many years. I realize speaker sound is subjective and personal; however, I would love some advice.

Listening Room. Den with many windows, 13'W X 25'L X 8.5'H
Power System. McIntosh C-2200 Tube Preamp
McIntosh MC 352 SS amp
Listen to about everything from Nat King Cole to Led Zepplin.
Price Range: $1,500 to $3,000 used
Kinda leaning toward B&W 804N, 805N, or Monitor Audio Gold Ref 60... any thoughs? Jim

Stay with what you already are intersted in(i.e, the B&W 804's or whatever). However, if you are into zepplin or rock in general, BIAMP THE 804'S!!!! Find a good strong used excellent BASS amp(like Parasound HCA3500, w/volume controls for ch's), drive the bass woofers with the 350w/ch Parasound(again, excellent bass amp), and use the better Macintosh on top!!! The sound will be very very dynamic for your needs, will sound very refined on top, and you'll be pleased..trust me! I know, I've used all the stuff we're talking about here for years!
Good luck
