Speaker recommendations

Hi-
I have a Sota Comet TT, NAD cd, McCormack ALD and McCormack DNA.5. I want to upgrade my Klipsch KG4 speakers. I am considering Alon model II, Vandersteen 2CE sigs, Thiel 2.2 and others. I like good bass extension, airy highs and halographic imaging (who doesnt). I want used,easy to drive, easy to place speakers. Any recommendations or thoughts on my selections. Thanks.

The Vandys are great except they're not that easy to drive. But I have read of folks driving them with various McCormack amps.

Your gear would work well with the Vandersteens, but IMHO, they might not fit the ease of placement criterion.

Gallo Reference 3 seems like a good sonic choice. they may not be the easiest to drive though

Depends on your room. I run Vandersteen 2ce Sigs in my larger room with Classe Cd 1.5 and Classe CAP 151. The Classe powers them just fine. We wanted better speakers in the smaller room and realized that there was no way the larger Vandersteen's would work. Found the smaller Vandy 1c's on Audiogon and placed them in the smaller room with NAD (545 cd and 362 amp and a squeezebox. They were harder to place cos they can only be about 10 inches from the back wall. The bigger ones are able to have more space around them. Both sound great to us...
