Speaker match for Plinius 8200 Mk II

Any recommendations for speakers that sound good with the Plinius 8200 Mk II integrated amp? I'm wanting a full-range, three-way speaker pair in the $4000-$5000 (retail) price range. I want something that weighs in at less than 100 pounds (45 kilos). I'm looking for a straight forward, sealed box design - no ported boxes and nothing such as electrostatics, etc.

Speaker cable recommendations to go with the speaker recommendations would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance.

I recently bought the Musical Fidelity 3.2 power amp which I am running from the pre out on my new Sony ES receiver as I wanted to go home theatre without ruining my 2 channel. I really love the MF. I think it is better than the Plinius and less money as well. I would love to get a good preamp to test the 3.2 WOW that would be nice. If I get tired of home theatre that is what I will do. Back to Hessong's question I would now look to try and get the Nu-vista amp to go with the 803's The integrated would have plenty of power but it would set you back an arm and a leg

Not a 3 way, but Roman Audio Centurions are a huge bargain, and sell used for around $3000 - $3500. They have a downward firing port that makes them fairly easy to place, and are FLAT to 35 hz. They have been used at shows with the Plinius 8200 Mk2 to great effect. They are compact, but produce a big sound with the best soundstaging I've ever heard from a floorstander.

I have a subwoofer from B&W that really makes all the difference when it comes to rock/pop
