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 paired my Yamaha AS-2100 with a pair of Harbeths SHL5+
and must admit, that they spund natural with no fatigue after prolonged 
playing music on it.

I alspo owned KEFs bookshelf speakers, which were terryfic, yet they lacked a bit on middle and high part of the spectrum.

I do also realise, that not even two people have same hearing, so I might get some critics, but it"s just my 2 cents....

The Elac Vela 403,stand mount ,these other two are stand mount 407,409, .
I have been into audio for 30+ years and the Elecs new designs are outstanding 
and have won several rave awards . ThisnewJet amp tweeter is very special 
clear the floor with dimes it isnot only refined after50-75breakin  but very airy with excellent depth I have found -0 speakers even at $5 k with a better tweeter 
these down firing woofer in the stand mounts  with theirDiamind sandwich paper Stamped aluminum information a relatively smaller speaker packs a punch into the mid 40 hz region and finished as well as speakers 3 x the price they are a excellent  deal ,well worth checking up just go YouTube they shave a great tourturetedt to the woofer ,and the Jet 5 tweeter is builtsolidthe accordion pleats  4 x the surface are vs a cone and are hand folded then robot soldersdriver membrain in place and strong neodymium magnets used.

I have a Yamaha A-S2100 in black, very happy with this integrated amp, great phono preamp is a bonus ! I already had Martin Logan XT-60's , happy with them but the "home theater " profile wasn't doing it for me in the aesthetics department. They are well made, but a little boring in black lacquer and a hulking presence in my listening room.   I did a lot of online/You Tube searches this fall and pulled the trigger on a pair of  walnut Wharfedale Linton's with the matching stands. This is a large bookshelf speaker that certainly checks the room aesthetics box. They just arrived from Music Direct, still boxed. I have 45 days to return them. 

I will get them out after Christmas, any A-S2100/ A-S1100 owners out there have experience with this Yamaha/ Wharfedale Linton combo ?  Thanks.
