speakers under $2k that work with Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra 2.5?


A guy on reddit posted audio forum that he won an Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra 2.5 (250w into 8 ohm, 500w into 4 ohm). 

He's asking for speaker recommendations (and preamp) under $2k to get setup.

Leaving out used gear, i had a hard time finding speakers that fit without being overpowered by the amp. maggies was my first thought but this is his first entry point into a home system and i don't think he's got the space or dedication for maggies.

 

would love a few recommendations from you to pass along.

thanks!

I've found that Class D amps work really well with nominal 4ohm speakers such as KEF LS-50 Meta's, or Elacs.  I would imagine there are many others that would work as well.

Plenty of speakers will work just fine — depends on what sound characteristics he’s looking for. 

Similar to what @soix stated,what are you looking for sound wise? Also,what speakers do you currently own,and what do you not like about them?
