Speakers for Yamaha AS2100

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...

I have the as2100 and I’m using Merlin TSM’s that I’ve had for about 10 years.   I listen to a lot of jazz, jazz and female vocals and other acoustic music at low to moderate volumes and the Merlins are excellent, although they can be a bit finicky to set up.    If I listened to a lot of rock or at high volumes they wouldn’t be my first choice.   Merlins are no longer in production, but run around 1000 - 1500 on the used market depending on the version.    If I were looking to replace them, I believe Harbeth would be on my short list to audition.   You’ll love the as2100.  Enjoy!

Given what you’re looking for, used ProAc Response D2 or Tablette Signature or Anniversary would be great choices.  For less $ used Nola Boxer would also sound great with your amp.  If you’re looking new the Silverline Minuet Grand is quite a speaker.  I like Totems a lot too, but they can be a bit finicky about electronics so just not sure how they’d play with your Yammy.  I think Joseph Audio speakers do everything Totems do but are easier to drive and a little more forgiving, but good luck finding a pair in your price range.  Best of luck in your search. 

Thanks everyone for the input! I was doing some research and found a pair of Dali rubicon 2 speakers for about $1500 used on us audio mart. Anyone have experience with the brand? From what I’ve read they seem to have a sound signature that I would like. Biggest concern is just finding something that has good synergy with the Yamaha. With the unfortunate circumstances we are in with this virus, I can’t go somewhere to audition (obviously) so I’m limited to just reading and research. Thanks again for all the feedback!
