Speakers for old 70s Marantz receiver?

I know these receivers have been around a while, so I know somebody out there would be able to recommend me a pair of monitors that match well. Here's the catch though -- I'm looking for something in the $300 range, $500 max. I listen to all kinds of music, metal being the exception. Can anyone help guide me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Better say which Marantz, as wattage can matter in matching to speakers.

Find a pair of Sound Dynamics 300Ti. They do not come up for sale very often but you do see them here occasionally and on ebay. I still have a pair in a third system with a NAD 701 receiver and they sound great. One of Harry Pearson's of TAS all time favorite speakers. They are in that price range and are a no brainer for that amount of money. They are very versitile and sound good with any genre of music. They are 4 ohm but can be driven by as little as 20 WPC.

If you can find a pair of JBL L-100's with nicely preserved grills, you would have a very sweet classic
setup.

Have Fun!

Thanks all. Rnm4 -- the model no. is 2265 (or 2256? I'm at work right now). I don't know much more about it as it was my dad's and i couldn't find any info on the 'net.
