Dad likes my Infinity Kappa8's, What's similar?

What's similar without the headache? I wouldn't wish the amp compatibility issue on anyone. My father downsized his system drastically when he retired. He's ready for floorstanding speakers again. I am trying to build him a simple system, starting with the speakers. His room is large, but there is little room for speakers or componentry. Narrow profile is important. He likes vinyl. Musical tastes include Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, etc. The system should rock tightly. If I could, I'd get him set up with Monitor Audio speakers and a Musical Fidelity integrated amp. The budget is just too modest for that. Looking for suggestions on speakers primarily, and amps secondarily. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I'm still searching for something locally. I've come across some interesting Klipsch KLF series, and JBL's. I just don't know which are great classics and which are dogs. Any further comments would be appreciated. -Garrett

OK Thanks again for the comments. I've gotten things tidied up a bit. The source is a Yamaha PF-1000 turntable(circa 1985). I like it a lot. Pioneer A-27 integrated amp(circa 1981). I also like it a lot. So, finally, the speakers. I am looking for speakers from the 80's. Classics that will do Tattoo You justice. My father likes long speaker wire runs and I don't want him to feel under-powered, so I'd imagine that to make sure that the speakers are relatively efficient. His placement options will be limited by decorative sensibilities, so... I have other ideas, but I feel I've rambled. Oh, yeah, $500. Thanks very much.
