You should consider a tube power amp, like one of the Dynas, in the 35 to 70wpc range for these. A modern integrated like the NAD or Creek might work but I am guessing here. The bass is ample but there's no cure for the hard and beaming HF.
Amplification for speakers from the 60's
I offered to help someone I know work on his home theatre system before I knew that his speakers are Empire Scientific Grenadier Series 8500 speakers from the mid-60's. I am way out of my league here. These speakers are probably 10 years old than I am. I can't seem to find any info online. I don't expect anyone to know these exact speakers, but can someone tell me what an average amp was like then?
BTW, I'd love to tell him to pick himself up something a little more current, but that's clearly not what he wants. I have home theatre set up I'd be willing to sell him cheap. :) Oh well.
