Need suggestions for speakers for Classe system.

Hi Everyone,

First and formost, I would like to say hello. This is my first post and looking for some good advice.
I'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions for speakers which would mate well with a Classe CA-400 amp and Classe CP-65 preamp. I am currently using a set of Paradigm S4 v.2. They sound great with fantastic detail, but I think they are a little too polite in the upper mid range on some recordings. They sound great when powered with an Anthem or a Parasound. I'm sure it is due to the laid back, smooth nature of the Classe. Has anyone had any experience with this type set up with satisfying results? I also have a second CA-400 I could use to bi-amp or run as mono-block if needed. My IC cables are all Synergistic Research accelerators (Balanced), and my speaker cables are Transparent Ultra Bi-wire MM2. Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated, and thank you in advance.

I have my Classe Ca400 with Magneplanar 2.6r. You should try run mono block with a new pair Maggie 3.7 or used 3.6. It sounds great with my Maggies.

I had good luck with Cardas speaker cable between my Classe and my Genesis entre one speaker. Try a different speaker cable and see if that improves the sound. It did in my system.

How big is your room? Listening habits i.e. rock and loud or jazz and moderate?

Not sure of your budget or location but Truesoundworks is offering refurbed Apogee Divas and Duetta Signatures here on AGon--both fabulous speakers. Apogees and Classe amps go very well together. Just a thought.
