Best Speaker matches for Parasound Halo JC-1's ?


Hi,
I wish to upgrade my speakers in the near future to take full advantage of the sonics of my EXCELLENT JC-1 monoblock amplifiers. I am interested in speakers that match extremely well with, and have outstanding synergy with the JC-1's.
Based on your own personal experiences with your own JC-1 amps and your own speakers, or based on your listening experiences with other owners of JC-1's and their speakers, I need your recommendations.
I am currently using Paradigm Reference Studio/100 version 2 loudspeakers, which sound great, but I feel I could do better. Especially in such areas as speed, imaging, detail resolution, transparency, openness, and top-end extension and "air".
I am interested in FULL-RANGE Speakers ONLY. No mini-monitors, please! Does not matter if they are cone&dome, planar, ribbon, electrostatic, etc., as long as they are full-range!
What I am looking for:
Bass: In room extension to AT LEAST 25 hz.Powerful, detailed, tight, and fast. The Paradigms are flat to 25 hz in my room.
Midrange: Open, detailed, transparent, smooth, and quick. Vocal reproduction, especially female vocals are also VERY IMPORTANT to me
Treble: Fast, clean, transparent, detailed, and open.
Top-end: Open, extended, detailed, delicate, and airy, with no top-end roll-off at all.
Imaging: Palpable, 3-Dimensional, transparent, with excellent focus.
Overall: Full-range, excellent detail resolution, neutral, and very transparent.I would also prefer a very slightly forward sound as opposed to a laid-back perspective.
I listen mainly to pop, R&B, and some jazz, rock, and country.
My current components are:
Sony CDP-333ES CD changer
Sony XA777ES SACD/CD player-[on the way!]
Modded Pioneer Elite DV-47Ai universal disc player
Adcom GFP-750 preamp
Parasound Halo JC-1 monoblock power amps
LAT International IC-200 MK II interconnects
LAT International SS-1000 D external bi-wire speaker cables
Paradigm Reference Studio/100 version 2 loudspeakers
I am planning on buying Parasounds upcoming high-end JC-2 preamp next year as well.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations and help!

What Rob 2 was saying about the Tekton Pendragons was spot on the Parasound Halo CJ-1,or even the A-21the CJ-1 runs in pure class-A
For the first 25 watts .the Pendragon is one of those speakers that is a
4 ohm load that is 95 db @1watt.meaning you will allways be running
In pure class A. .if you have never heard Tekton speakers it is like a direct feed from your amp,only one capacitor to he bass,and one for the tweeter
Dynamics,imaging,soundstaging,depth, and tonal balance,
If you want it to be even better opt for the Mundorf Silver oil capacitors,
And the New Pendragons using Scanspeak ring radiator Tweeters,
And Seas mid-Bass drivers in the -SE model.
