Recommendations for Vintage Speakers

I’m currently looking to put together a vintage system and am wondering what a good pair of full range, floor standing speakers would be. They would be powered by a Pioneer SX-1250. I listen to a very wide range of music, a lot of live Grateful Dead, Classic Rock, Metal, But also enjoy Jazz and even a little Big Band music once in a while. Thanks for your help!

What does it mean accuracy?
Accuracy compared to what?
To dummy today Hi-Fi standards with emphasizing high frequencies, compressed bass, synthetic tone that is called "accurate".
Altec with proper crossover sound much closer to live concert that most of these "accurate" speakers.

Here is good interview of Andrew Jones about it. It is no absolute accuracy:
