Once owned the 2218B and agree it had a warmer sound. Therefore, I personally would match it up w/an efficient and neutrel sounding loudspeaker. I have a gut feeling the KEF C300 would make a very good pairing. I'd bring the receiver in to an audio store and have them hook it up and see how the different spks. sound. Paradigm would probably make an exc. pairing as well. Not heard their newest series but I would go and cheek them out. Exc. choices posted. You should have a wonderful sounding system in the end!
