Speaker suggestions for Marantz 4300

I just picked up a Marantz 4300 at a local estate sale.  It's in incredible condition and I am looking to get a pair of speakers to do it justice.  Anyone have any suggestions?  The studio that my setup is in is a 800 sqft room with concrete floors and ceiling approximately 12ft high with tons of space.  I'm open to anything as this is much larger than the 2228 that I was running previously and am interested in anyone's experiences with the 4xxx models.

Would you want a retro (real vintage) speaker or a new retro-styled speaker to compliment the look of the Marantz?

That's a large, open space so just about any large tower would be nice.

What's your budget?

I’m looking for something vintage to complement the set (I also have a Marantz 6100 table.) I got the receiver for under $1000 so I have a bit more to spend on the speakers. Ideally somewhere in the $500 range to start. And once I get a better feel for its capabilities and the rooms acoustics go a bit bigger for the second set, since it is a 4300.

I'd look around for something from Bozak, JBL or maybe a older Klipsch Heresy.

If you’re planning on running four speakers you’ve only got 40Wpc on tap so I’d be looking at higher-efficiency speakers like Klipsch.  Best of luck.
