best speakers to match with the rogue Chronus magn

I'm upgrading my system and recently bought a Rogue Chronus int. amp. I'm listening to Martin logans basic (beginner) speaker i got from my son. At first they impressed with their transparency but quickly I outgrew them and hate their positional efficiency. Their sweet spot is too small. I used to have Thiel CS2 but I can't get replacement tweeter/mid. I'm in the market for new speakers. I listen mostly to classic/prog rock and jazz. Considering B&Ws. I would appreciate comments from fellow audiophiles to match with my Rogue. I'm contemplating spending up to $2000. for a pair. All commments are appreciated.

Have heard Vandersteen 3A's with Rogue gear, very nice sound, warmish but still good detail and dynamics.

I like Vandersteen's as well (I use them in my main system), but they definitely have a sweet spot. If you want better off axis listening, you may like something from Mirage. They're known for that.

Rouge and Tyler Acoustics are like peas and carrots, a really good match (if you like peas and carrots).

I have a Tempest II Magnum. Running Revel F30's - I can't go rediculous lay loud but within its limits (which for me is no real limit at all) this is a good match.

seeing how others like their Rogues with a variety of speakers seems you have a lot to choose from.

Vandersteen 1C, Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II, Magnepan 1.7, Revel F-12, Revel F-32 (and probably the new Revel 206) ..... and many more. The Rogue is a wonderful amp, and will match quite well with a lot of different speakers. You may want to call Rogue Audio and speak with Mark O'Brien. He's incredibly helpful and can give you good advice. Congratulations, and enjoy the music ! Happy Listening.
