Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp


Howdy folks!

I bought a Levinson 383 integrated years ago when it came out in 2000. I paired it with a pair of Revels and although it sounded good, not the perfect fit. Sold amp and speakers to sis and moved on. It worked perfect for her. After her recent passing, the amp is coming back home. Just curious what speakers you might suggest pairing it with. Nothing will replace my McIntosh Piega C10LTD combo in the main room but would like to hear it paired with the right speakers. That amp new was $6000 new. 100 watts. 

Something on the used market. They don't even need to look pretty just sound perfect. $2000 tops used is plenty. Thanks for your suggestions!

@knollbrent I wouldn't really call the Harbeth M30.1 vintage it was current just 6-7 years ago. Also in terms of audio gear that lasts speakers are at the top of the heap I wouldn't worry overly much about speaker age. Listened to a speaker from 1937 the other day it sounded fantastic!

@jond I misunderstood. There was a 35th anniversary of the Harbeth I saw on Ebay. Not familar with the speaker but I'm sure it's good. Great info all around. 

Without sharing what sound characteristics you’re looking for this is just shooting darts blindfolded.
