Speakers for Onkyo A-9555 Integrated

Thanks for the responses. There are not many high end audio retailers within a two hour drive of my home, so my opportunities to listen to a wide range of speakers is very limited. That's why I find A'gon such a great resource, first hand accounts from fellow audio enthusiasts.

Thanks for the kind recommendations everyone.

Programmergeek, I listen to 80% jazz & standards/20% classical. Very little rock these days. I'm looking for a speaker that I can live with for a good while. The system is going into a common area between our kitchen & dining room and used for casual listening while cooking, eating and lounging on the weekends. The Onkyo has a second set of speaker outputs which I will run into our bedroom to a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis 1 Bookshelf speakers.
