AES 6 pacs Speaker choice?


Which speakers would work well with an Audio Electronics Six-Pac & AES preamp system?

My room is about 16x14, music is about 85% blues-based rock both acoustic & electric. 15% Jazz & Classical.

I would like to go with out seperate subs, cabinets need to be moderate size and nice looking wood prefered.

In design I prefer simple over complicated- a two way would be nice.

I do tend to listen loud.

Budget is $2000. -$3000.

Thanks,

Proac Response 2.5 or D28 are tube friendly, small footprint, wood veneer, two way, and have the sonics that would compliment the types of music you prefer. You can find them used in your price range.
I don't have any experience with the Six-Pac but I'm using an AES Superamp and AES-DJH preamp with a pair of Devore Gibbon 8's and it's a wonderful combination. The Devores are so incredibly musical, with such clean, articulate bass that they seem a perfect pairing with the AES tube components.
If you're willing to treat your room with acoustic panels, you may be able to make a pair of Vandersteen 2ce Sig II's work. This speaker will not meet your "wood" requirement.

I have used the AES AE-3 DJH and a pair of Sixpacs with a pair of B&W N805s and a REL Strata III and really enjoyed it. I hooked up my AES gear to my friend's Vandie 2ce Sigs and thought the combo was great (and no sub needed).

While I have not heard this particlar combo, I'd be interested in hearing the AES gear with a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios.
