Recommendations for Vintage Speakers

I’m currently looking to put together a vintage system and am wondering what a good pair of full range, floor standing speakers would be. They would be powered by a Pioneer SX-1250. I listen to a very wide range of music, a lot of live Grateful Dead, Classic Rock, Metal, But also enjoy Jazz and even a little Big Band music once in a while. Thanks for your help!

I second the snell type A recommendation. Effortless sound that just fills the room in a way I haven’t heard from many speakers. Need a large room.

Thanks PKVintage!

there are several on your list I’ve never heard of. I’m thinking up to 1500 I’d the budget for something in great condition. This system will be a labor of love even more so than my current modern system. I look forward to checking these out!

Epos 11, Epos 14, Onkyo MultiAc 60s, easy speakers to drive with SET low wattage amps.

Rogers Studio 1 was a great sounding speaker , you needed good power behind them, I never had the opportunity to hear the 1a which was supposed to be superior?  I was in audio sales during that time and got to hear a lot of great speakers and electronics during the late 70's and early 80's before getting out of the trade. I miss those days.. didn't make much money but had a great time experiencing the trends at that time.
