Need speaker advice for new Rotel system

Hello fellow Audiogoners. I just purchased a Rotel system consisting of the following components for my new 2-channel system I'm building: RB-1080 (200wpc amp), RC-1090 (pre-amp), RCD-1072 (cdp).

I've only heard a handful of speaker manufacturers and LOVE Focal and Dynaudio (I'm sure I don't have enough real power for Dyn. though). But am not quite familiar with what is recommended for Rotel, or at least what is popular with you knowledgeable folks.

Any help would be appreciated greatly. Oh, and to add I'll be using Tara Labs XLR RSC vector 2 interconnects between the pre and amp, and am using Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cable for whatever I end up with on that end :) Still need interconnects to go between the cdp and pre though.

Thanks in advance!!!

i have a buddy who is a rotel dealer, been around the business 30 years and loves equipment and music and is not just a business man, he really loves the equipment and the fun of working the equipment to match up. He sells rotel with the b & w, vandersteen. He says they are matches made for each other....dwhitt

Chris, what are you replacing the Gallos with?

Don't know if you've selected your speakers yet, but if not, consider the Salk SongTowers. A high end ST with ribbon tweeters and a selection of custom veneer finish is within your budget. I just added a RB-1080 to my SongTowers and it's a great combination.

I've listened to Rotel gear played through both Focal and B&W. I think B&W is a much better match!
