On a more serious note, speaker recommendations are going to be all over the place; vintage, modern, highly efficient (or not), it will be difficult to pin down anything specific other than the pre-existing preferences of any who post. I will state the obvious and say that you are best to go with an 8 ohm system. (9090 DB will drive 4 ohm systems but is not really recommended) and capable of 100-150w power handling (at least).
Do you have a general type of speaker you are leaning towards; floor or bookshelf, new(ish) or old, agressive or laid-back? I'm well known to be fan of Sansui speakers from the late 60's to mid-late 70's but they are a divisive subject for their aural qualities versus modern sensibilities on "how a speaker should sound". Which is to say my suggestions would likely cause some minor controversy with many of the regular posters here. There are other Sansui speaker fans here, but we are in the minority, no doubt.

Lion cheers mate
150 watt with 8 ohms sounds the go, not sansui ones some nice shelf speakers I’m leaning towards

Understood. I'll defer to others here to offer speaker suggestions, as my knowledge of contemporary speaker systems, and bookshelf models specifically, is rather limited. Posting on here has been a little slow of late, give it a couple of days for some feedback yet.

Period correct JBLs would go nicely with your 9090db.

The current JBL L100 Classic might even be better.
