At $2k, favoring soundstage and detail over extension, and with good quality power, but not a lot of it, my vote is for monitors and really good stands (4 pillars, filled): ProAc Response 1sc; Joseph Audio RM7si; Aerial Model 5; maybe the Revel 20, but I've never heard it. Any of these choices will also stand up really well to future upgrades in source and power.
Speaker recommendation for Rega Mira
My father has caught the audiophile bug and I'm trying to help him with speakers. He has a Rotel 970 CD player (modified), a Rega Mira integrated, Kimber Hero and 8tc cables. His room is an odd size with a good deal of open air. He listens to Blues, Jazz, and Vocals mostly and enjoys a large soundstage. He'll take detail over bass extension anytime. He is definitely staying under $5k and would prefer to spend a good deal less (under2k). Any recommendations for a good match with the Rega would be appreciated.
