Looking for speaker ideas.


Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.

Equipment so far is :

Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black

Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?

Budget is $2000-2500

"  Are you really planning on changing preamp and speakers at the same time?"

I know its one of the cardinal rules in audio not to do as it can lead to confusion , but I happen to list both items and they both sold about the same time.     What are the odds ???
Find a pair of speakers you like first. Your amp should have enough power to drive just about any decent speaker, so no problems there.
You can always find a complimentary preamp afterwards.
Are you near any Vandersteen dealers?
