Help with speakers for Blue Circle Integrated Amp


Any suggestions for a pair of $3000 - $5000 speakers to mate with my "Blue Circle CS Integrated Amp", and "PartsConnexion" modified "JoLida JD-100A Vacuum Tube CD Player". I'm looking for a floorstandig speaker, and listen mostly to jazz, rock, and acoustical guitar. Thanks in advance.

The CS is a superb little amp but I'm not sure it "wants" $3000-5000 speakers. Expensive speakers won't embarrass it, but it won't get the most out of them. If you're dead set on spending that much dough, I'd have Blue Circle put a preamp-out on your CS, get a BC 24 stereo amp, and then get the EV3's, which, I agree, are super. The alternative would be to get a pair of Arpeggione floor-standers, which are the floor-standing version of the Twins. Around $1300 at the moment. That combination will surprise you. Synergy is everything and the synergy between the CS and Twins and Arpeggiones is excellent.
