A buddy of mine runs a pair of late 70's KEF Calinda loudspeakers being driven by a Marantz 8B power amp. This is absolutely magical.
More than any other loudspeaker I've heard. the Calinda is very revealing of the sonic character of your amp. Were I to get into a pair of them (figure $500/pair or less), I'd get a VTA ST-70 to drive them. It's at least as good as a Marantz 8B and a whole lot cheaper. Available either pre-built or in kit form.
