I agree that since your amp and pre are from the same manufacturer there should be no compatibility problems, so focusing on the speakers makes sense, especially since you want to upgrade anyway.
****I don't even remember now if I originally asked if a less sensitive speaker is what I need.****
I believe this is the key and this is why both Ozzy and I questioned the intial spekaer sensitivity spec that was provided. The Vandersteen 2C would, for sure, would be more compatible in your system from a *sensitivity*, because it is speced (86db) at about 10 db less than your current speakers and it might even be less sensitive still. BUT it is recommended that the Vandersteen have an amplifier of a minimum of about 60 watts. That could present an audible problem for your amp.
I realize that home audition of speakers is tough for you because of your remote location. BUT I would *never* commit to a pair of new speakers without a home audition. You may need to work out a deal where you can buy the speakers with an ion clad money back guarantee. Or check out a manufacturer like Ohm Acoustics which have built their busines on the home trial model.
