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.

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.

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

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.

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?
