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.

"Note: The system is in a large great room."

My advice would be to make sure you get speakers that are large enough. I have heard great speakers sound not good because they were in rooms too large for them. You lose bass and without the low end it sounds off. This was in a double story great room. You may end up needing a sub so consider that in the budget.

I run Focal with my McIntosh and love it.
