Easy to drive speakers.

[pearsall001]

What speakers would you guys recommend as an easy load on an AVR? I have a NAD T765 (80w per channel). It's probably better to stick with 8ohm rather than 4ohm, even though I believe the NAD can handle 4ohm without a problem. And how much of a role does the sensitivity rating play when it comes to power required? My room is 13x32x7 (approx 3000cuft). My main listening will be HT with 2 channel a close second. I want to stick with the AVR & not need to add any amps. I'm currently getting ready to sell off some of my gear & want to start from scratch with a complete package from the same company (mains, center & surrounds). No more mix & matching speakers. I'm pretty much in the process of downsizing my system.

I currently have dual Velo SPL-1200R subs so the low end isn't an issue. I've run bookshelves with superb results, but I'm also looking at floorstanders. My budget for the 5 speaker system will be approx 1.5-2k. Thanks in advance.
