affordable speakers for a vintage Marantz amplifier

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I recently bought an old Marantz PM-350 amplifier on ebay. I am now looking for decent but affordable bookshelves speakers to put in my 15m2 living room. Any Ideas ?

Here's what I have considered so far :
Eltax Monitor III
Tangent Evo E4 or E5
Magnat Altea 3
Monitor Audio Bronze 1 (a bit too expensive I think)
Cambridge S30

Cheers

Tomi

Not sure about this specific model, but I just found out that Dali works really well with Marantz. I did A-B comparisons between my own B&W DM303's, MS902i and Dali Concept 1. The tiny Dali's had a firm grip on the bass, the mid and highs are very lively and overall sound is wide and airey. B&W has stronger, but less controlled bass. MS were dull and lifeless in comparison.

Of course, a lot depends on the amount of money you're willing to spend. If you're looking for budget speakers IMO you can't go wrong with these. And yes, I ended up buying them.
