I went a little crazy and bought a Cary CAD 300SEI 300b integrated during their sale last week. I first hear the CAD 300 monoblocks 20 years ago and fell in love. I won't get it for a week or two. I am hoping I still love the sound. My issue is that I will need to find, appropriate, beg, borrow, or buy higher sensitivity speakers to match to it and need recommendations. I currently just have Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II and Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grands. Neither of which are terribly high efficiency, though the Vienna's are 90dB they do dip to 4 ohms.

So, please give me advice on what you would pair and why? My budget is somewhere in the up to $6k range but would like to be cheaper if possible and still get a great result. The program material I find most important is symphonic music followed by general classical, jazz, folk, and a little bit of everything else.

Thanks!
