Hello,

do you have any suggestion for speakers that would fit with Audio Research LS25 & VT100 or VT200 ?
(opera, classic & jazz)

Thank you for your help

The combo you have works very well with just about anything. It's time to go and hear a couple of good speakers and decide what you like. Your choice of speaker's defines your system's sound more than any other component. What size/kind of room do you have ?
How far from the rear wall can you place the speakers ?
Will you have a tv or anything between them ?
Will full range speaker's disturb other's while you are listening ?
What are some of your favorite speaker's from the past ?
How much do you want to spend ?

Proac is a great match if you like the full bodied, slightly laid back sound. A set of 2.5's would be high on my audition list because of their sheer versatility.

Best matches I've found at home were the vandersteen 5 followed by the Audio Physic Avanti. Very different sound. Van 5 was a match made in heaven. Awesome bass and natural presentation. Required very expensive cables to get it to produce sufficient resolution. Avanti is lightweight, but has world class resolution, soundstaging and low level detail. The AP virgo is also quite good.

I use a vt100m2 with a bat vk-5i. I previously had an arc ref1 preamp.
