Speaker dilema

Ok, I now have a CARY CAI-1 Integrated. A nice CD player and turntable (i'm mainly an analog guy). I still need some direction with speakers. My room is 16x25. I originally was thinking about 2 way monitors but now considering full range floorstanders. I'll be listening to jazz and classic to alternative rock...no heavy metal here so don't need bone crushing bass. I will eventually upgrade electronics to separates when budget allows. Oh yeah, my speaker budget is $2500 max not a penny more. It looks like I should be able to get a good used pair on the Gon. Please, I need suggestions here. Thank you!

That is a pretty good sized room. I would suggest a used pair of JM Lab Electra 926 or 936. They have killer soundstaging, don't need huge amounts of power, and do all the audiophile tricks while still sounding musical. They are killer bargains these days. If you opt for the smaller one (which I own), use the extra money to upgrade your cables and/or buy music. That's my suggestion.
