What planer speaker to start with? Budget 2k


I've been wanting to try a pair of planer speakers for a while now. I just don't know where to start. I have an Aleph 5 to drive them, and I have a sub. My listening room is 17' by 25' by 8'. So far my favorite speakers are an old pair of Epos es-11's. My budget (which hasn't been cleared by my wife yet...) is $1999. I listen to everything except country and jazz. Thanks in advance.

Love the Maggies, but if I had a room that size- I go with the 1.6's(same efficiency as the MMG). Better bottom end and overall dynamics, regardless of your listening tastes. Usually available for $1000 to $1300 in here, and you won't be tempted to invest in a sub(quite as soon).
His amp has MOSFET outputs that will drive maggies just fine, as long as he's not trying to rock the house. The Aleph 5 should output a solid 80-100WPC to the maggie's 4 to 6 ohm nominal load before any kind of clipping occurs. Yes: With Maggies- More IS better, but unless he's an SPL freak(like me): the combo(MMG or 1.6) should be satisfying.
