Rotel speaker pairing advice

Hello, I have a rotel 1070 pre and 1080 power matched with an original pair of Boston Acoustic A100s. Yes, it's time for new speakers!

I listen to equal parts vinyl, streaming, and high bit rate mp3s. I lean toward jazz, reggae and classic rock. My wife, pop and rock.

I'd like three ways, perfect world under $2k, willing to go used...

Any suggestions welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

I have Rotel , I use it now for HT as I prefer tubes for 2 channel music .
If I was looking for a speaker for the Rotel , I would look for a warm sounding speaker as the Rotel can be a bit bright on the top end . I had the Rotel paired with JM Lab speakers and a NAD CD player... one heck of a sound stage ! But there were some CD's that would make your skin crawl . And the JM Lab and NAD are on the warm side of things .
Given that , the warmest speaker that I have heard is the
Von Schweikert VR 4 JR. Used , these should be in your budget .

Happy Tunes

Saki70,

What type of Rotel amp are you talking about, the newer Class D ones or the older, traditional type?
