dedicated 70's rock system


I want a system dedicated to mostly poorly recorded 70's rock music that can draw me into the music rather than repel me by the inherent edginess etc. when played through many a high end system....the system is to be dedicated to cd reissues only, can be used or new equipment...total system price shall not exceed ten thousand dollars, in a dedicated room roughly 25' x15'...only one special request, the sound must be full at moderate volumes and not just at "rock appropriate" volumes....thank you!

The large advents stacked tweeter to tweeter would probably be best buys pricewise. You might need to refoam the woofs on many old speakers. You have a receiver so try to be patient and buy locally so you can listen before you buy, May not be your cuppa as they say. Klipsch also. Not sure how jbl 4300-l100 series sound with marantz. Dahlquist dq-10 pop up time to time. Altec santanna, Esss, Infinity qb. Haven't heard those with marantz either but good vintage speakers. Forget ebay prices. You can buy speakers for free ( need refoaming and owners think they are blown) to 700 (for klischorns) in my area. Just make noises like mmm at every percieved scratch/flaw while frowning at every little defect.LOL. With the rolled off highs IMHO you can use belden or magnet wire as well as anything fancy. Old Dual, Linn, Rega turntable? Someone else will hopefully chime in on that one. Check dc output of the marantz cause its been sitting in that attic a long time. May need work. Just be prepared to tweak vintage gear till it is up to speed Nothing too fancy, caps and resitor/inductors in the speakers if needed. That's why you can get them so cheap!. Happy holidays.
