Audio Refinement Complete owners: please advise


I would like to hear from other ARC owners RE: what speakers they are driving w/ this amp. I have received very conflicting suggestions and am not sure how to proceed. Can ARC handle large floor-standers such as Paradigm Ref. Studio 100V2, or am I confined to monitors with thsi integrated? My room is 17x28 w/ 15 ft. ceilings. I listen to acoustic Jazz, 60's/70/s rock, singer- songwriters (Hiatt, Thompson, Prine, etc.), some folk and country. Like some volume but not ear-bleed levels. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks, ABall. Can you be more specific re: why you believe the Triangles would be particularly well suited to the ARC? I've read some good reviews but the reviews have also stated the speakers can be very fussy re: room placement, and I have very little flexibility in that dept. Any other speakers you can think of that might work well? What characteristics affect driveability other than an 8ohm rating?
Bignerd100, could you please provide names/models of speakers that you think sound very good with ARC? I don't have many stores in my area.
Thanks for all the suggestions... too late to follow advice to buy speakers first, unfortunately. All of the copies of "high end audio bible for dummies who are not rich" were checked out of my local library. But I will pursue these leads.
