Speaker recomendation


I just bought a second home and the room where the new system will go is quite large (60’x20’) with a wall of windows.  I’m looking for a pair of speakers that will be more for listening in position close to the system but that can still move enough air for when we have lots of people over.  Budget is about $10-15K for an amp and speakers.  I have a Moon 340i but fear it doesn’t have enough power to move the speakers I’ll get.  I was thinking about Golden Ear reference but my wife and I are more classical and jazz listeners and these are better for rock?  Suggestions appreciated!

@lgoler After your 30th post you can take your training wheels off and they send you a book on sarcasm.  Happy Friday!!!!

Soix why you are on to something. Actually the ATC SCM 100 would do it, however this pair is as old as the hills. 

The ATC actives play loud as hell they are used in recording studios. and the 100 sound pretty big, this pair would have 10 year old amplifers or older which are not as good as the current versions, also I think the current ATC SCM 100 ASL use an in house tweeter. 

However even considering the size of the woofer I don't think the 100's go that deep. 

Logoler should listen to the active Dynaudio's and see for himself. They are very nice loudspeakers.

For what its worth, I just completed an extensive in home double blind a/b test of the Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers with RAAL against the Bowers and Wilkins 702 S2. My results can be seen in full on AVS forum. I chose the B and W in the end. For Jazz and all the B and W would really be good but sounds like your budget can accomodate something better than this 3-5K range.
there always seem to be some very nice Meridian active gear on trade in as owners move up the line..check in with some of the  bigger USA dealers, you might be stunned at what is available 
Stereo Design in San Diego always had 2-4 pair before owner retired...
