I play trumpet in an orchestra (although I sometimes slum in Big Bands 😎🎺).
The speakers that I have are Martin Logan Spires. They deliver what you are looking for.
I power them with either solid state or tube monoblocks.
My s/s monoblocks are Soundcraftsmen PM860’s from the early 80’s. They put out 900 W at 4 ohms. They can be found for under $600.
My tube monoblocks are Golden Tube Audio SE-40’s from the early 90’s. They put out 75 W. I completely rebuilt these so I wouldn’t recommend them unless you can find ones that have been.
Both amps sound musical but different. The s/s amps have a lot more punch.
Your Marantz is perfectly capable of driving MLs.
