Speakers for Marantz 7 & 8B

KLH 9's; Janzens on top of old AR bottoms; Quad 57's; big vintage horns.

I can definitely recommend that Quad 57's. I have heard the Quads with the Marantz gear many times and it is wonderful. If you want something a little more modern and readily available, try a pair of the Reference 3A DeCapo-i's.

I have used the 7/8b combo with 10" 12" and 15" Tannoys and they mate up expectionally well. For the record I find the 8b better than the Marantz 2's on the big horns as it has more extended highs.

You didn't mention what size speakers you're looking for, but if you need a small monitor-size speaker pick up a pair of the Sequerra Met 7 MK4 or 5. Dick used the 8B as the design amp for those speakers, so they mate PERFECTLY, and sound wonderful.

Good luck, Ed
