What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio


My Cambridge Audio A640 V2 amp (75wpc) is quite good, and I'm looking for a set of nice budget monitor speaker to set on my Target Audio speaker stands. The room is large and lively sounding, so full bodied sounding speakers w/ good bass is what I'm considering.

I'm using JBL 610's but know I can do better. B&W, Quad, Kef, Spendor, Monitor Audio, etc come to mind. I haven't determined a price but on the low side of good monitors is what I'm thinking about.

These are all good suggestions and as I said in my post that a full bodied speaker it my choice. I believe they will compliment CAs quick detailed sound and the live acoustic space the system will be in.

Paragon, Quad, and Totem my fulfill these needs. I'm not familiar with the Mordaunt Short, DeCapo, or Reynaud Trente sound. Mordaunt Short is probably more in my price. I've always loved Spendor, but B&W may have to much HF energy.

Please keep the suggestions coming with a general observation of there sound.

Please excuse the typos and grammar errors on the above post. I rushed it and posted it before I proof read it.
I'm using a pair of vintage Polk Audio RTA11t foorstanders for now. Outstanding synergy. These Polk's are from when they made audiophile speakers, and have midrange clarity, imaging, and an articulate bass. They compliment CA's PRaT and clarity with a hint of warmth. The results yield a very musical presentation. The bass is all there, but refined instead of forceful. The largish floorstanders have a room filling sound.

I'm still keeping an eye out for monitors, and I'm considering Monitor Audio. They sounded great to me in the late '90's and I still remember their sound.
Timrhu,
Sorry about the late response. I'm so impressed with the Polk RTA11t's that I am considering the LSi9's as you suggest. (Or even the LSi25 as they have a modern look, small footprint, and powered subs that can be used w/ the CA 640A's pre out)
I've read so much good about these under rated speakers. They are not respected just because Polk is sold at Best Buy. I think either of these would be a worthy replacement for the RTA's.
Thanks for your input.
