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.

Hello I also have a BAT VK-3i,VK 200, but using a Micromega Stage 6. Have tried using this combination with my Thiel 2.3s and did not like the sound, way to bright even with MIT cables. Went back to my Krell, VTL. Also have tried this combo on my son's Thiel 2.2s which did sound very good. The 2.2s are not as bright as the 2.3s. Since the 2.2 have a similar complement, the 3.6s should work out pretty well. I would stay away from any speaker that is on the bright side. Currently I am using the BATs in another room with Unity Audio Signature 1s which are a very good match.
Has anyone heard this combination with ProAcs 2.5s or 3.8s. Any comments would be appreciated.
