Speaker recommendation

I used to be an Omega dealer and think very, very highly of Louis Chochos' designs. If I were doing what you're doing, that's what I'd go with.

Thanks Duke, I appreciate the reply, I've spoken to you on the phone and very much respect your opinion. Now I'll just wait and see whether she wants to put it in her living room or her kitchen where her current stereo is, my p's house has an open kitchen/living room area. Living room = small floorstanders, kitchen = monitors. Bass and imaging aren't really big requirements more of a tone, pace/timing kind of thing.

Cheers,
Wes

Try to find speaker that are fairly efficient.I'm guessing that unit gives 10-15 watts per channel (just a guess) at the most.The specs they give are 25 watts at 1 khz @6 ohms only.
The power at 20-20,000 will be lower.8 ohm speakers with at least the low 90db minimum efficiently range might work ok.If you use anything less efficient may heat up the unit,or play to low.Manuel link>>♫[http://www.teac.com/resources/pdf/cr-h227i-b/CR-H227i_manual.pdf]
