Best Vintage Speakers for Classical & Jazz music

I'm currently using the original Wharfedale W60s/ sand filled speakers with my McIntosh 1700 receiver, Empire 208 turntable, 98 original tonearm & a Empire 2000-mkIII Cartridge with a Shibata stylus. I must admit darn good. 

I am thinking of buying the Altec Valencia speaker. Any other choices you would recommend.

I had Polk Monitor 10s a thousand years ago. They were quite good.

 Great speakers. I recently fired up a pair of LFT-8b’s for a change of pace and, surprisingly, the Snell As are not far from the LFT’s,  I was surprised when I installed them. 

oops.. I just looked up the Mc 1700..40 watts. Not enough for the Snell As at 84dB, 4 ohm.
