Speakers for Music Hall 25.2 cdp and amp????

Hi all,

I just decided to purchase my first real audio system. After a bunch of research, I am going to pick up a Music Hall 25.2 amp and cdplayer. Does anyone have good advice of floorstanders between $1000 and $1500 that would be a good fit? This will be a hardwood floor, medium sized room. I listen to mostly jazz, old soul (aretha, otis, etc), and some classical. Not sure how this translates to speaker sounds (this is all pretty new to me), but I guess I would say that I love a warm, rich sound, and speakers that really soundstage well.

My starting point is Monitor Audio RS6 and B&W 683s. I have listened to both around where I live (Washington, DC), and am leaning toward to the 6s now, since their price to performance ratio seems really good -- but I would be happy to be convinced otherwise.

Any advice would be really great!

Thank you - Marty

The Mordaunt short 914's are known to be very fine. Rated 5 star. Only about $600 /pair- British made and sound.See reviews in "What Hi-Fi" 89 sensitivity. I have a pair along with a Dual integrated and Redgum CD player (Bought here) from Australia.
Incidentally I never see used Redgum amps come up for resale.
Bulletproof- just not well known here.
