best speakers to match with the rogue Chronus magn

I'm upgrading my system and recently bought a Rogue Chronus int. amp. I'm listening to Martin logans basic (beginner) speaker i got from my son. At first they impressed with their transparency but quickly I outgrew them and hate their positional efficiency. Their sweet spot is too small. I used to have Thiel CS2 but I can't get replacement tweeter/mid. I'm in the market for new speakers. I listen mostly to classic/prog rock and jazz. Considering B&Ws. I would appreciate comments from fellow audiophiles to match with my Rogue. I'm contemplating spending up to $2000. for a pair. All commments are appreciated.

I have a Tempest II Magnum. Running Revel F30's - I can't go rediculous lay loud but within its limits (which for me is no real limit at all) this is a good match.

seeing how others like their Rogues with a variety of speakers seems you have a lot to choose from.

Vandersteen 1C, Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II, Magnepan 1.7, Revel F-12, Revel F-32 (and probably the new Revel 206) ..... and many more. The Rogue is a wonderful amp, and will match quite well with a lot of different speakers. You may want to call Rogue Audio and speak with Mark O'Brien. He's incredibly helpful and can give you good advice. Congratulations, and enjoy the music ! Happy Listening.

I'll second my boy, Roscoe. The Rogue Cronus Magnum was a great match to VR-33 speakers. Not my favorite speakers, but the best I herd them sound and I did try a number of costlier amps and pre amps.
