Speakers


Hello,
I recently upgraded my yamaha receiver, replacing it with a 'new' Sansui qrx8001 from the late 70's... a loaded question I know, but does anyone have speaker recommendations for said quad sansui? Mostly vinyl,  some fm, mid-size living room, budget 2k, but maybe more if done in 2 phases.  
thanks

Jbl l-65 jubals. Great speakers with Sansui. 
I had a old au 9500 integrated with them and it sounded great. Sansui used to demo their equipment with jbl speakers back in the day. 
Great synergy. 
Also, in buying vintage speakers make sure you can test them. Some times the drivers are blown. 
In the case of l-65’s crystal prism slot tweeters, 
if they’re blown don’t purchase. The woofers probably need re-foaming but that’s no big deal. 
A good pair will set you back at least 12-1500.

Vandersteen 2Ce - I’d take a pair of these any day for the same money over vintage JBL’s or Klipsch which I agree are nice speakers but not up to Vandy’s IMO.
Also look at the Celstion Ditton line. 66's 44's or 33's. Also IMF TLS 50's or 80's
Always recap these if not already done. Makes a huge difference. 

There are a million great 70's speakers out there in your budget.
