Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60?

I'm looking for a floorstanding loudspeakers that would match up well w/my Bryston B-60r. My listening room has catheral ceilings and I listen at a distance of 10' to mostly jazz/classical/easylistening country/folk/rock. The
midrange is most critical. Budget is under $2500. The Theil
.5/ Snell QB-x25/Pro Ac Studio 125 interests me because of price/size/and availables finishes, but, I'm open-minded to any and all
suggestions. Also, what loudspeaker cable could you recommend that would compliment speaker w/amp? Thanks. Bill

I have owned a B60P for about 2 1/2 years now. Originally I had Spendor SP2 speakers and the sound was terrific. I moved to a larger room and then purchased PMC FB-1 speakers. They are distributed by Bryston in the the USA and work well together. They can handle 150 WPC and can play loud with 90db sensitivity. I then purchased a Bryston 3B-ST power amp and bi-wired them with Synergistic Research Signature 2 cables and now use the B60 as the preamp, which is the same as the BP-20 preamp. Either speaker works well.

With that kind of budget I can't help if wonder if you would be better off selling the Bryston (no offense to the Bryston intended) and starting from scratch.

I've read and have heard that the B-60 mates very well with maggie mmg's all the way up to around the 1.6's. You might want to post this same question over on audioasylum under planar forum or speaker forum and see what they say. Good luck and keep us posted!
