Speaker for McIntosh setup

I am looking for suggestions on a good set of speakers to match up to a vintage McIntosh system. I currently have a McIntosh C29 and two MC2205 amps to power these speakers. All these units have been recapped and meet original specs. I am looking to spend in the $5k range.


I need some suggestions on speakers to match with this system. I live in a remote area to access true audio shops so I thought I would create a short list and make a road trip to hear them in person.

Note: The system is in a large great room.

Thanks in advance.

B&W is the classic match.

I have found that really good components can get the most out of decent speakers. But of course to get the most out of your system requires complimentary quality speakers. I have run some $3K speakers on $30K of electronics for years. The speakers were ribbon so they really did perform over there cost... but ultimately I wasn’t betting the most out of my system.
