Vintage speaker suggestions

Set up: 2 McIntosh Mc2120 solid state amps, C-26 pre amp, and MAC-1700 receiver.  Not changing any components other than speakers.  I have a pair of Pioneer CS 99-As and 2 pairs of Original Large Advents, neither sounded bad, but I think I could do better.  Trying to spend around 1000 or less and keep it from the same era more or less.

The Concert Grand, B-305 is half a concert grand. I might also add any of the big floor standing ADS would pair up well with what you have upstream. AMT 1B, Snell, lots of nice vintage choices….

Just be sure to check condition of driver cones and surrounds.

even with older speakers, it is important to specify what kind of sonic presentation on prefers from a chosen pair of speakers, and the kind of music one listens to
