Speakers for Bedroom - Vinyl/Vintage equipment

Looking for some suggestions for speakers for a master bedroom. Dimensions are 24x20. Would like to spend no more than $1500. This system will be strictly a vinyl system. Using Pioneer 1978 SX-80 receiver with 45watts and a Pioneer PL-51 turntable. Diverse types of music including; Rock, 80's Pop/Rock, 50's music, Jazz. No classical or country. Would prefer no subwoofer to be involved. Thank you!

Klipsch will make your ears bleed thru an old Pioneer receiver,been there,done that.
Original Advents,large and small versions were made for his gear,the EPI suggestion is good as well.

Watching some Advents on the big auction site. Also, read many things about DCM Time Windows and Dynaco A-25. With no ability to listen before buying will have to roll the dice and give them a shot. Again, "Thank you" for suggestions.

Had Time Windows in bedroom for years,a truly great speaker
thats unfussy as to placement -no stands reqired an advantage over Advents,clearer than Advents but not as harmonically rich.

With the limited options of finding excellent vintage speakers, are there some new speakers that would work? Not having much luck finding excellent condition speakers. Any suggestions would be great! Or just be patient and search for the Advent, Altec, Time Windows, EPI etc.?

Vintage Dynaco A25s or KLH 17s or AR 6s, as long as they are in reasonable condition.
OR, get some modern active speakers & use the preamp (tape out?) outputs. Try used(even new for if you look here) active Quad 12Ls for 6-$800 & you will have $$ left over for a cheap subwoofer too.
