Speakers for a newbie

Hi all.

Can someone please give me some advice on speakers?
It's my first setup so I bought some old gear. I want to improve little by little.
In my first setup so I'm on a budget. Any ideas on a sub 500 Speaker set?

My amp is:
Mcintosh MC7100

Preamp:
Rotel RC870

CD Player:
Rotel RCD-965BX

Thanks a lot!!!

For less than 500, a must audition is BA A26 monitors...these have a seductive, romantic quality with amazing bass for their size...they reminded me of higher end European speaker such as Sonus Faber...great build quality as well

Start with Vandersteen speakers. Whatever you can buy within your budget.

Vandersteen is a safe move and you should be very satisfied.

I'm guessing that by "BA" you mean Boston Acoustics, Phasecorrect. As a newcomer, Funkpolvo may not be familiar with our shorthand.
