Chose Denon 3803..now for speakers

After listening to many receivers I ended up liking the Denon 3803 the best and am now looking for speakers. I am mostly an HT person but would really like to listen to more music with some that sounds enjoyable. I listened to the Sonus Concertino and Vienna Haydn at tweeter and really liked the sound of the Concertino on the 5803. Am I goign to get that same sound on the 3803... any other suggestions would be appreciated because I also like the Vandersteen 2ce, Paradigm 60, Klipsch RF7.....

M&Ks are a natural match with Denon, as are the paradigms. I just don't like the paradigm sound (psb is better to me) but is worth an audition

I also have the 3803; I'm using 5 older Acoustic Research that I've had for about 10 years. The first new speaker set-up that I'd listen to are the PSB Image series. Fantastic range without over-emphasizing any one frequency area,similar to the Paradigm line. The performance-to-dollar value on the PSB's is one of the best for any speaker line.

I'm using Boston Acoustics VR950 with a PV600 subwoofer (the sub is turned WAY down - I almost don't need it), and the sound is very nice, especially in pure direct mode. Bostons tend to have a full but somewhat bright sound, and the Denon has a warm sound. I think it's a nice combination... I picked up the Bostons for $350 on sale at Tweeter, and the sub for another $350. There is also a new VR3 speaker that sounds stunning, which sells for $1200 a pair.
