Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers

Hello All!

I just acquired a pair of Quicksilver M135 amplifiers and line preamplifier. I wasn’t in the market, but they came to me in a trade. I am wanting everyone’s recommendations on speakers new/used under $5000. Room is 16x22, however I listen from about 7 feet away. Music preference is jazz and some light classic rock.
 

My current system consist of a McIntosh 240, Fisher CX-2, and Triangle Comete 40th anniversary speakers. 
‘Thank you in Advance,

Rob

Hey, "Get in the back and form a line" as they say.  Just kidding. 🤣 Some of the bigger QS amps have become somewhat collectible. The M135s are unique and desirable to some in their own way. Then came V4s, and Mono 120s, now becoming more unobtanium too. Maybe check over on the Quicksilver Facebook group, more  Some QS folks hanging out there too.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I have been enjoying the Quicksilvers with the Triangles. The Quicksilvers lit the Triangles up like the Mc240 never quite could. 

I just picked up a pair of  Magnepan LRS+’s for kicks. I will report back once break in is complete.

@thermionicemission  are your MX135s running the KT88s or EL34 output tubes? If so, which ones. Originally I believe they came with EH KT88s. Can taylor the sound some from there or with the smaller 12FQ7, 12AU7s if you choose. Good sample of different type speakers you have there too, should be fun. Enjoy!
