Looking for some info on speakers

I'm a 'newby' to the high end audio scene, but love music (Jazz is what I listen to primarily) and currently am running on NAD components - 317 intergrated amp, and the C 540 cd player. My local dealer recommended JMLabs Cobalt 810 as a good speaker fit. These sounded excellent in the store, but I don't know much about them, and wonder if anyone can reccomend these or another brand to go with. Any suggestions? (looking to stay in the $700-1200 price range)

I think a pair of Coincident Triumph will fit the bill,1100.00 new less used.I use a pair in My HT set up.My wife listens to them using an old Nikko Cd player and they sound great.I use a Marantz SR-880.This speaker will allow you to grow your system and not become the week link.Once you have some extra cash upgrade the CD player.

Consider Triangle and Meadowlark, relatively easy to drive and a good deal for the money.

Jim, Aggree with Fletch on Meadowlark Kestrel!! B&W makes some really nice speakers which fall in your price range. I have heard the upper JM Labs which I really liked. Haven't heard the Cobalt series. Used in your range--maybe Hales Revelation 2 or PSB Silveri. I have the Hales which I think for the money is the best. Check out "www.audioreview.com" for customer feedback on different speakers. And do alot of listening before you buy. Good luck....LR
