Re: Jazz lovers - what speakers

I listen primarily to jazz (mostly post 1952) so I'll just run down a short list of speakers I like that might work with your room and system:
Magnepan - MG 1.6QR especially although the 12s would be an option. A bigger room and a bigger amp would be nice but they'll work as long as you can give them at least 4' of space behind them.
Green Mountain Audio - eccentric looking but excellent
J M Reynaud - Not the most neutral speakers but they really get at the soul of the music
Spendor - Especially the SP 1/2 but maybe too polite for you
The Meadowlark Heron i might be another option if an out of business company doesn't scare you off.

I've never met Duke but based on his posts here I'd give his recommendations much more credence than most.

I have not heard the Sig II Vandies but I find earlier versions better for classical than jazz or rock, not a PRaT speaker.
