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 ?

the von schweikert line of speakers offer very good value for the money- they're accurate as well as musical, and offer deep bass as if "it's not even a big deal". i bought a pair of VS's without hearing them 1st, something i would normally NEVER consider. but everything people told me about the sound was true- very resolving while staying true to the sound of real instruments. for less than $5k (retail), you can get a truly full-range speaker; that's pretty amazing.

I would suggest The Vandersteen 2ce.. Very tight in the bottom. Highs and imaging places you in the front row of concert. JAZZ, BLUS OR FUNK you'll love them

Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures are just what you are looking for. They are a tremendous value in high end. Extension top and bottom, harmonic structure, time and phase accurate and just plain "draw-you-into-the-music" thereness.
