Speakers for BAT equipment

I have a BAT VK-3i pre, VK-200 power, Meridian 508.20 cdp, transparent interconnects and spk cables. I listen to anything except rap and country. I was considering Paragon Regents for a long time until I read some reviews on Newform Research. I'm also thinking about Thiel 3.6 and Merlin VSM. Does anyone have recommendations for the best combination? Price range is around $2500, used. Thanks in advance.

Well, believe it or not, I'm operating a pair of Martin Logan CLS IIz's with nothing more than a VK200 mated to a VK40 preamp. The output of the VK200 is 200 watts into a 4 ohm load, so don't be surprised if it drives most 4 ohm loads with ease. I've operated this same system with a VK500 amplifier, and although the VK500 provides greater headroom, it was no more dynamic sounding than the VK200. Toss a Genesis 900 sub into the mix and VOILA, you're done!

Enjoy,
