Marantz pm5005 with what modern speakers?

[KeithD]

Hi !
So I have a "vintage" Marantz pm5005 and I'm wondering what contemporary speakers would work well with this?
I know by many it's considered a budget amplifier but in the past , some have some that praises if it's paired with a good set of speakers. I am looking for clarity and depth. Mainly I listen to jazz. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks, Keith

How much are you looking to spend, and how will you position them?

Hi Andy !
Well anywhere between 300-500. I assume theres a point of diminishing returns due to the quality of the amp.
In terms of speaker placement : will be torso level 3 -4 feet (left/right) from amp. Sorry if thats not the correct speaker positioning terminology but you get the idea. 🙂
