Speakers for Marantz 7 & 8B

My father just gave me his original Marantz 7 & 8B. I'm looking for an ideal speaker match. Any recommendations?

I have heard the Quads with the Marantz gear many times and it is wonderful. If you want something a little more modern and readily available, try a pair of the Reference 3A DeCapo-i's.

For the record I find the 8b better than the Marantz 2's on the big horns as it has more extended highs.
