Speaker recomendations please

Hi there, I've been looking to replace my existing speakers but I'm having a terrible time finding what I want. I have a complete Myryad system,MCD200 cdp, MP100 pre-amp and the MA240 power-amp at 120 watts/ch at 8 ohms. I'm looking for a full range speaker with good weight at the bottom end, Music preference is Jazz and Alternative Rock with some Electronica. Budget is approx. $1500-2000.
Any suggestions ?

I would hazard that Energy Veritas 2.3 or 2.4 might do the job well...definately weight at the bottom end on those. (Second hand of course...good value IMHO) G'luck!

I can unflinchingly recommend the Von schweikert VR-2 in your price range. It has a great bottom end but is really a great all around speaker. It is in your price range new (slightly discounted) and definitely used.

I see some Gallo Ref. 3s on Audiogon right now for $1600 if you're close to Virginia. Power that 2nd voice coil and you've got "weight" in the bottom end for sure...

Hey thanks a bunch guys, after contemplating some of your answers and searching A'gon for info on speakers, I may just increase my budget to $2500-3000. This might reflect more what most of you are saying regarding how much you should spend on speakers in comparison to the remainder of your system.
