Suitable Speaker recommendation for my recent purchased marantz 2275

I found a Marantz 2275 at a garage sale a few years ago. I got a Kenwood turntable with it. I am slowly returning these babies to vintage glory. Now I want to find a nice set of floor speakers to compliment the 2275 performance. C-V? KEF? Ideas anyone? Thxs.

clean and clinical, or deep and throaty... how do they sound?

They sound like $20,000 speakers compared to my Cerwin Vega's.. very refined yet very powerful well balanced and far far more accurate reproducing music lifelike. .. every bit as much Bass as a Cerwin Vega and put out but much more accurately and musical
 
Ohm acoustics have a very important part in audio history on their website you can read numerous articles from the 1970s about the company in the men who started it and how they came from different vintage speaker manufacturers that are still highly-regarded today..

The OHM Model F ... The most revolutionary speaker ever made and the most important.

My opinions and thoughts are my own, while there are some who think like I do there are always others with experiences that are different and they have good information to offer as well get ready for all kinds of suggestions.. .
There are many vintage loudspeakers that are great from several manufacturers...
Many of which don't exist anymore..
But ohm acoustics is still here servicing their products today from yesterday.

The owner of ohm acoustics used to own Tech HiFi which was one of the better high-end HiFi stores in the nation
