Greetings!

This is my first post on this forum, so here's a little about me and my audio system:

I am an avid listener of classical music, especially of the orchestral variety. I am a big fan of the Super Audio CD format (I have purchased about 200 SACDs in less than two years), and from time to time I will listen to LPs (I am considering upgrading my ancient Technics SL-5). I am still undecided whether stereo or multichannel is the way to go with the SACD format, but currently I am listening in multichannel with some "entry-level" (~$250 apiece) Klipsch speakers. Here are my system details:

SOURCES:

Oppo BDP-103 Blu Ray/SACD Player

Teac UD-501 USB DAC (w/ Foobar2000)

Technics SL-5 Automatic Turntable

AMPLIFICATION:

Denon 4310 AVR

Denon 2112 AVR (Spare)

SPEAKERS:

Klipsch RF-15 Floorstanders (Fronts)

Klipsch RC-25 Center

Klipsch RB-61 Bookshelf (Surrounds)

Assuming I was to go the two-channel route (I think there might be more bang for the buck here), I would like your opinion on good speakers for classical (mainly orchestral, but at least competent with chamber and jazz) music in the $2000/pair range, preferably without requiring an immediate upgrade to my amplification (Denon 4310).



I have looked into the following models:

KEF Q900

Monitor Audio RX6

Magnepan 1.7

Martin Logan ESL 8

PSB T6

Sonus Faber

Golden Ear Triton 3

 

Thanks for your input,

David
