Speakers recommendations for a Sony Japan golden era Hifi system

Hello to all,

I am in need of help in order to get the right speakers for my Sony golden era Hifi system, I just put together the following : 

Sony TA-F333ESR Integrated Stereo Amplifier
TC-K333ESG SONY ES Series Black Cassette deck (1989)
Sony Z77ES CD Player 

Now I am looking to put about 2k in a pair of STAND UP speakers for this system .

Question one : Is it more organic to have speakers from the same era (late 80's early 90's)?

Question two : not familiar with the speakers of that era so much,, was thinking of getting a pair of KEF maybe but the new stand up are looking so cool.

I am between these 2 right now but totally open to suggestions :

Bowers & Wilkins 603 S2 Anniversary Edition
Focal Chora 826 Floor Standing Speakers

Cheers everybody,

I decided to go for a pair of KEFs 104/2 early 90's. I found a pair in LA where I live, they are pristine and have been serviced .
I amp fairly new to this, I come from the music production world. My question was more about matching vintage gear with recent gear and vice versa, in general.
Thank you so much for input!

I already have a retro 70's system with a Sansui 9090db and a pair of Pioneer HPM-100, and I love the retro speakers the L100A, the 166 and the new ones are great too, I love the Wharfedale, thank you for posting that also the new retro JBL - 4312G...etc

Anyway KEF 104/2 it is. On my way to pick them up.

Thank you all for input  greatly appreciated .

Cheers

KLH Model Five looks great, wonder how they compare w the  JBL - 4312G and the Wharfdale heritage, all have a great retro design, my favorite era.

I have a pair of HPM100 that I paired with a Sansui 9090db, that's my late 70's system.
Man, I would love a Pair of L100.
