Newbie needing experts' advice

Hello everyone. I'm slowly fitting my system together-- now I have CJ 11a power and CJ PFR pre. Next step is the speakers, but found out that there's too many to choose from. My budget is around $1500. I'm looking into KEF Reference 3.2. Any other suggestions? I listen to lots of rock, jazz, and classical music. The speakers don't have to be "latest technology" as I have found old models to sound quite good for my taste. Oh, and WAF is pretty important too. Thanks for your help in advance...

Thiel 1.5s would work very well.

You can check out what owners of some of these suggestions have to say about them on audioreview.com - if this helps.

Thank you all for your great inputs. I live in a loft (20 x 30 x 12). The speakers will sit along 20' wall with brick wall and windows in the back. Hardwood floor. Lively sound. My listening habits vary: sometimes walk around or sit down. Wife LOVED Silverline Sonata MKI (they were pretty, indeed), but I had an itch and changed to ML Sequel II. Now she says they're too tall. Ugh... Anyone has any experience with Kef Ref 3?

Expert(s)? Hardly. I would look into Cabasse Skiff, here on audiogon for $1500. Check under "Speaker suggestions for CJ MV60" just couple of threads down.

Meadowlark Kestrels? Proac? I'm sure there are plenty of very good speakers in that price range...especially if you're willing to buy used.
