Fullrange Speaker for Quicksilver Silver 70's

I have a new pair of Silver 70's with quicksilver preamp. I was recommended to look into the Vandersteen 2ce sig 2's by my dealer. I asked Mike Sanders and he said they were a tough drive and recommended the Vandersteen 1c. Is there anyone out there with the Silver 70's...if so what are you using that works well with them. Looking for suggestions under 5K.

I was looking at Totem Forests or maybe Coincident Partial Eclipse any feedback on these would be great too.

I am using a Rega CDP, all Tara Labs The 3 RCA's and JPS Super Conductor Speaker Cables in a room 20 x 20 with 10 ft ceilings. I listen to mostly classical some acoustic rock and some jazz.

You may find auditioning Coincidents a tough run. They are as a rule very bright fast and if you will audiophilish. However if you you want the best sound from a pure SET topology, there aren't a lot of speakers that toe the impedance line above 10 Ohms like Coincidents do.Except Vintage stuff I guess. Your horns and some single drivers.

tubes and horns work better, try a pair of jbl 4425 or jbl 4430, a good original pair.

Altec's too.Tvad has a pair of Sonata III's which would sound killer with your amps up but about 150% or your budget.They's be worth the deep dig into the pockets.High sens but not exactly 8ohm load but you could swing it fine.Real keepers.
