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

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?

You won’t go wrong with the Harbeth P3ESR. I’ve owned many bookshelf type speakers and the P3 is my favorite!

Buchardt S400 over on USAM right now would go very well.

Call Fritz!  If you ask him nicely he would probably send you a pair of Carbon 7’s to try out for awhile.  
Take it from me though, you may want to be in a position to buy them beforehand.  I may shed a tear or two when these Carrera BE’s and I have to part...
