Speakers for Yamaha AS2100

Hello all, 

was recently able to purchase a Yamaha as2100 for a really good price and was wondering what speakers would pair well with it. Budget for speakers will be $2k but am flexible. Was wondering if I could get some feedback from any AS2100 owners. Looking for bookshelf speakers preferably. Listen to a bit of everything but mainly jazz and 80s music. Will not be playing at ear splitting volumes as I live in an apartment. And feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

best,

Mike

A solid state amp like this rated at 150W into 4 ohms and 90W into 8 ohms are going to drive most speakers.  You will get many recommendations in this price range for KEF but I'd probably be scanning the used market and considering something like these Harbeth C7ES3 small standmounts. Lots of personal taste and options to consider.

I have been intrigued by these to pair with my Yamaha A-S1000 for some time.  Never heard them but at this price might be worth a shot.

for me I don’t like anything too dry or clinical sounding. I do however value tonal accuracy. I want a piano to sound like a piano, a violin to sound like a violin, and voices to me are a big priority. I’ve heard so many speakers get a lot of things right but the voices sound too nasally and unrealistic if that makes sense. I like totem speakers for their realism and musicality. Wonder if they would pair well?
