What current speakers to use with Marantz 2230?

Used Vandersteen 1c if you can find some. In a small to medium sized room the 2230 has plenty of guts to push them.

Sounds like a plan.

I used a 2240 and 2216 with current era speakers for a number of years. The speakers were all of moderate cost. The best of the lot were the Rega Aras (now R1). Good rich sound, nice bass response. These speakers new go for $700.

Another good match-up were the Omega Super 3, which are single driver speakers. Two very different speakers. The Omegas were exceptional with acoustic and vocal music. These speakers have been upgraded to the Super 3T . These speakers go for $500 a pair.

Lastly, one other speaker I would add to me list are the Ascend Acoustic's Sierra 1 .

I could not agree more. Maybe Klipsch Quartets if you want deeper bass than Heresys can provide.

Any PSB model is suitable, the new Boston Acoustics A 25 sounds VERY good as well.
