What speakers should I audition w/ a Mcintosh ma2


Just purchased a Mcintosh ma2275. I don't have any Audio stores in my area. What would the experienced audiophiles recommend I listen to, to mate up w/ my new system. My bonus room will house this system (approx 30 feet by 20 feet w/ "A" frame type ceiling.

A friend of mine is a recording engineer and volunteered to do an assessment of the acoustic status and potential of the space re: need for Bass traps etc.
I enjoy acoustic and electric jazz, R&B etc.. not to much into hard rock etc although I cant dismiss the classics ie Hendrix / Beatles .I guess I am a more mature listener

any info on either the Wilson Puppys or the B&W 802d. How would these pair up w/ a 2275 Mcintosh 75 w per channel
Is there a way to home audition these speakers, if not how do you go about this task? thank you in advance
HI, and thx for all your input thus far.
As far as budget I think I would allocate no more then $3-4,000 used or 7-$8,000 new
What do you guys think of WILSON SOPHIAS? would they mix well with my Mcintosh ma2275?
Heard them yesterday w/ 100w per channel... very crisp nice soundstage solid bottom
Your thoughts would be appreciated
