What speakers to go with my new Marantz 2265?

I personally don't think there's any (sound quality) advantage in pairing vintage speakers with vintage receivers, maybe just esthetically more pleasing. I've had my Pioneer SX-980 driving my JBL L40s and ADS L510s for many many years and loved the sound. A couple of weeks ago I brought the Pioneer downstairs and hooked it up to my recently purchased Vandersteen 2Cis and the combo sounded significantly better than the L40. My suggestion is go for a pair of 1Cis and you'll be better served. If you're real set on going the vintage route, I've found the ADS sound much more neutral and balanced as compared to the same size/era JBL or Advent, with the Advent being the least transport to my ears.

OP stated speakers to be paired with vintage Marantz receiver, so like comparisons seemed appropriate.

I like the way those Pioneers look (they remind me of stuff I lusted after as a kid in the 70's) and the local record shop has some large Advents for cheap ...  but they look hideous.
How to find vintage speakers in good shape that don't require repair and shipping? I live in So Cal (Santa Barbara) and don't mind driving a few hours to pick up something nice.

And THANK YOU for the very informative responses so far ...

I always felt that the Japanese just did not get it re: speakers (5 and 6 way designs using cheap drivers and poor cabinets), but the HPM100s proved to be an exception. Suspect it is because they stole the chief designer from JBL to create the HPM series. 

Good luck to you in your quest to find them locally. Should run about $400 for a good-condition pair.
