which is a better speaker


I am looking to buy a pair of speakers to use with my 2265B Marantz which would be better Pioneer HPM 100 or Jbl 120ti

First, has your receiver been renovated? All the caps replaced and reostates cleaned, etc? I have a 1970’s Marantz integrated amplifier… it is fun to look at, but sounds terrible, honestly I could buy a Schiit Amp for $500 that sounds much better. 
 

Are you interested in sound quality? If so, what kind. Or is this nostalgia? 

There is no best speakers...

There is the best room for some speakers though....

This crazy hobby is a journey and not a destination, There is NO “best” option and certainly never in a binary choice blind option.

i am sorry but our hobby is not systematic frustration, dissatisfaction and ignorance combined with money throwing in the bin...

There is a destination defined by acoustic vocabulary, terms, and experiments...

There is a destination when we learn how to embed rightfully any system at any price , mechanically, electrically and acoustically..

Why?

Because a minimal S.Q. threshold of satisfaction can be reach with almost any system at any price with a method using these three dimensions controls possibilities in an economical manner...When this threshold is reached, upgrading has no more forceful appeal: we like all our music for the first time and we listen to it... Sound is no more a priority....

This hobby is not a journey without end, upgrading, there is an acoustically very definable destination...Learn basic acoustic...

All the contrary saying is only conditioned marketing deceiving repetition in a gear fetichism induced hypnotism ...

I apologize for saying this incovenient truth....
