just wondering if anyone's got any advice on the best speakers to partner with a classe 5200 amp. was thinking wilson benesch or b&w but maybe there's other's more suitable out there.

I know B&W and Classe are matched up at Apple studios but for me I found the sound a little laid back and
dark. Three selections I would put down to demo would be Thiel 2.4 or 3.7's (more detail at the top end), Revel Solons or
my #1 selection just heard the new Aerial 7T a definite contender for 2011 speaker of the year IMHO.
The only speakers I've heard on the end of your amp are the Usher BE 10's. These are the three ways with beryllium mid and treble drivers, not the model with what Usher call ' amorphous diamond' tweeters. The results were spectacular but the large acoustically treated room may have been assisting things. Either way the sound was about as good as I've ever heard. Better than some large electrostatics with astonishing depth and slam in a bass .Surrounds were also from Usher but I can't remember the model numbers.
