Looking for advice on 2 Channel system

Hi, I have decided to leave the Home threater where it is and have a room for 2 channel only. I Would appreciate recommandations for speakers and pre-amp. I would like to use the BAT VK500 amp I already have. Room size is 20 X 14' and budget for speakers (that can be bi-amped in the future) and pre-amp is around $10,000 for used equipment. Listen to rock, jazz, classical in that order. There are some great looking speakers on Audigon and pre-amps I just don't know which to choose and can't audition many.

I'd recommend Dunlavy IV/A speakers and balanced audio technology VK-5i preamp or 50se preamp.

I have Vandersteen 5s with built in subs in a 14 X 22 listening room and they're great-- incredible bass articulation and power. They occasionally show up here on A'Gon in the $7-8K range. Along with a good tubed pre-amp, you could have a dyno-supreme sounding system. I use an SF Line 2 SE, but I bet a BAT would work well with your amp. Good Luck. Craig

I agree with the BAT VK-5i or 50se preamp. For speakers, I'd suggest giving the Vienna Acoustic Mahlers a listen. I also would check out the Aerial 10T's.
