So I just bought a Hegel H390 and


I am building a new system and I just bought a H-390.  It should arrive by the end of the week.  I want to get new to me speakers to go with it. So if you’ve have or have had a Hegel H-390 or a H-590,  what speakers under $10.000 sounded the best.  And I guess I should probably get some wires also.  Nothing crazy, but not zip cord.

Thanks.

Haven't heard the KEF Blades, but in the right room, i.e. they're adjacent to room sidewalls to work with their side firing woofers, I think they'd be some magic.  I lived with a pair of LS50W on stands for a while and was completely shocked.  An excellent point source is always kind of arresting when you hear it.  KEF is doing something fabulous with their Uni-Q driver.  However, the Blades will seriously blow your budget.  With a pair of the new generation LS50's you'd have money for a pair of nice REL subs too.  They may seem like, "going cheap", or going small but I suspect they fit very well.  I wonder if anyone in here has them hooked up in a nice system??  
I have the original KEF LS50's hooked up to a lot of good amps. Currently I have the Benchmark AHB2 monos on them. I love how the AHB2 pair with the LS50. If I could get a Blade to fit into my room I would but I am using the LS50 + KEF KC62 sub. It is not too bad but a far cry from the Blade. 

The KEF Reference 1 is a pretty nice speaker with Hegel gear. They should start to get discounted soon with the META upgrades that KEF should be introducing soon for the Refence and Blades.
@jjss gave a good framework.
My two cents is that asking "what matches to the hegel?" is the wrong question.  Any really good amp ought to work well with a wide variety of speakers.  what you really need to ask is "what speakers do I like?"; what speakers can drive my room?" and "what speakers are appropriate for my musical taste?" etc.
A really great amp ought to be a chameleon these days. Mine is.
With the limited number stores around me, hearing most of the speakers discussed will be really hard to do, so I’m thinking I’ll get a pair of LS-50 Meta’s, as several have suggested and go from there.  Everything I’ve heard and read says even if I don’t like them, they should be pretty easy to resell.
Again,  thank you all for your suggestions.

In your 15X15 room a closed enclosure speaker might help to control bass better than a ported type, I have a room very similar in size and Magico ( old V3) made it for me, that after many trial and error…
