Last year, I bought a Fisher 500-C and a Fisher 400. Both receivers were superbly restored by Analog Engineering Associates in California, and I highly recommend them if you have not already made other arrangements. AEA's roots go back to the early 1970's when Avery Fisher and Saul Marantz served on their Board of Directors. Enjoy your 500-C -- it's a great classic! I've used my 500-C with speakers ranging from my Vandy 3A Sig's to a vintage pair of KLH Model 6's and Mission Audio Silver RX2's (a really excellent small speaker, BTW).
Speaker recommendation for a Fisher 500-c
I just bought a Fisher 500-c that I will be getting restored. I am looking for a speaker that will work well with it either vintage or current. While price plays a factor for arguments sake let's say no more than $2500. In addition to maybe exclusivly using with this receiver I may use with my Marantz 2270 or Mac MA-6600.
