speakers for first watt j2

Desperately need help with this decision: I need to find speakers for my J2 and I am having a hard time finding some for under $1500. I think I made the mistake of buying the amp before the speakers. At some point if I can't find a decent pair I'm going to sell the amp and get an amp with more watts to mate with my Revel M20's. My room is about 22 x 12 and I like 70's rock and electronic, along with folk and jazz (+ some chamber music).

Help out with this last ditch effort, pleeeeasssse.

I use Druid V's with very good results. Omega speakers will work well with the J2's also.

good suggestion on the zu's. I looked at your system and your listening position is similar to mine. Great setup by the way.

Cheers

To add my $.02, I used a First Watt M2 with my 94db Tannoy HPD 315's, and the match was outstanding.

I talked to Nelson Pass, and he told me he designed and voiced the M2 using Tannoy HPD's. I wouldn't be surprised if he had used them for voicing the J2 as well.

If you can find a pair of used Tonian labs TLD-1, they will work - around 95 db.
I use them with a 14 watt SET and they can rock.

Great suggestions. I will look further into Tannoy. I am glad you told me that you talked to Nelson Pass, which gives me more reassurance.

I could not find much on Tonian, I don't think they are represented in U.S. anymore.
