Speakers for Onkyo A-9555 Integrated

browsing thru the used listings, i saw some canton karat and focal jmlabs 905/906 in approximately your price range--i'd definitely consider both.

I like the Silverline Minuets, and I have heard them with an amp much cheaper than yours. Auditioning is always best, but if you can't manage it, I don't think you'll be dissappointed with the Minuets. Just MHO.

Well we need a bit more infor. Like is that your last amp you will alwas stay with that level or do you want a speaker that you can grow with?

What type of music do you like?
Do you like a more bright sound or laid back sound?
Do you want accuarcy or bass?

We can give you opions on speakers but it is like saying what should my favorite color be, at the end of the day it is what you like.

I second Bondmanp's comments on the Silverline Minuet. I have them in my office (with an old Rega Brio). They're fabulous and sound HUGE. You might also think about the Quad 11L (or 12L). I briefly drove 11Ls with a PS Audio A100 and it was a great combination. In my very limited experience of class D, it's so clean and transparent that a smooth and somewhat sweet speaker like the Quads is match worth considering.

Thanks for the kind recommendations everyone.

Programmergeek, I listen to 80% jazz & standards/20% classical. Very little rock these days. I'm looking for a speaker that I can live with for a good while. The system is going into a common area between our kitchen & dining room and used for casual listening while cooking, eating and lounging on the weekends. The Onkyo has a second set of speaker outputs which I will run into our bedroom to a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis 1 Bookshelf speakers.
