Speaker recommendation for a Fisher 500-c

Last year, I bought a Fisher 500-C and a Fisher 400. Both receivers were superbly restored by Analog Engineering Associates in California, and I highly recommend them if you have not already made other arrangements. AEA's roots go back to the early 1970's when Avery Fisher and Saul Marantz served on their Board of Directors. Enjoy your 500-C -- it's a great classic! I've used my 500-C with speakers ranging from my Vandy 3A Sig's to a vintage pair of KLH Model 6's and Mission Audio Silver RX2's (a really excellent small speaker, BTW).

If you can find a set of Audiokinesis loudspeakers you will do well. IMO a speaker that is easy to drive will be important.

Can anyone recommend a tech who is very good with tubes? Need some work on my Fisher 400 receiver, Im in the Dallas area, would prefer to deliver/pick up than trust UPS or FEDEX 

I own a Fisher 500C it needs work and is on the "to do" list. It's not the most powerful thing or most accurate out there perhaps has 30W. I love how they look, simply beautiful.
Dynaco A25's would be a good match for the Fisher. The A-25 would need the caps and tweeter replaced for best sound. All in for under $400.00 easy!
We have a rebuilt pair of A-25's in the living room with McIntosh MX110Z and MC2505 great vintage sound.

I have just the loudspeaker for you and it's a boatload less than your $2500 budget.  I've got a buddy who runs a vintage pair of KEF Calinda loudspeakers that he drives with a Marantz 8B power amp.   This is one of the most pleasurable and thoroughly enjoyable audio systems I've ever heard, at any price.  Really.

Your 500C is about 25 wpc and the Marantz 8B is 35 wpc, so they're in a similar power range and I feel would be a good match for the KEF Calinda.   The Calinda and the Cantata were KEF's big loudspeakers back around 1980.  

Being as old as they are, they're difficult to find, but when you do, they'll be priced at $500/pair or less.  If you persist and are resourceful, you'll find a pair in a few months time.  You'll probably have to spend some money on shipping as well, but given your budget, this is something you'll readily afford.  You will NOT be sorry.  Truly wonderful!
