Which receiver w/ which speakers??

[jsjazz]

I understand the difference in room acoustics etc...But just looking at the components themselves, which of these three receivers would you mate with each of these three speakers? I have my main system set but am looking to set up 3 more rooms. Bedroom, office, tv room. all average size rooms.
gear is: receivers; Pioneer sx-1500td (tubelike sound, 38wpc) Pioneer sx-626 (same sound, 27wpc) Yamaha cr-640 (late 70's-early 80's open, neutral sounding, 40wpc) Speakers: Smaller Advent (you know the sound), Celestion
Ditton 15 (late 60's model,7" 2-way passive bass, nice but "small" sound) Infinity Qe (8" 2-way Emit tweeter, very "out front" sound, good imaging, wide response range) Bedroom will be TT,CDP. Office, same with tape deck added. TV room is TV stereo sound and CDP only. Music is mainly 60-70's jazz. I'm just looking for opinions!
thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff! Welcome to AK!!! I say have fun mixing and matching all your gear. I think it would be almost impossible to say what piece would go best with what piece since it is YOUR hearing that is going to be the deciding factor, not mine or anyone else's. But, I'd pair the Yammie up with the Baby Advents, since they're both very neutral, the to kick it out a bit, put teh SX-626, which has plenty of low end reserve with the Infinitys. Since the SX-1500 and the Celestions are from about the same time period, they's make a nice match. Let me know if you try any of my suggestions and what you think!
