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!

Here is good interview of Andrew Jones about it. It is no absolute accuracy:

Why would anyone want a pair of Altec VOTTs playing in a domestic environment?  Is it for those people with concert grands in their living rooms?

"There is no absolute sound."

It's sad you believe this.  There is indeed an absolute sound.

It's a simple and important concept.  The absolute sound is what we experience when we hear live music.  It is nirvana for music lovers and thus the ultimate goal for audiophiles seeking faithful reproduction of that experience.
