Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp
Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 sounded magical with my ML No. 436 mono blocks. They received some bad press as the cabinet was made in China. The bad press did not "rain" on my enjoyment of the speakers. Highly recommend.  
$8k for speakers - new or used
I would suggest Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8’s to pair with your ML No.333. I have ML No. 436 Monoblock’s powering a pair of Watt/Puppy 8’s which I find to be an excellent pairing being neither fatiguing nor forward.

Small speaker advice
I am by far anything from being an audiophile, but know what I like. I am in the process of moving and will have a dedicated listening room. My prior listen room was rather small (10x12). I had my Wilson Watt Puppy 8's as close to equilateral as p...

Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k
I went from Audioquest Volcano, $3500 back when they were made in the US, to Silversmith Fidelium, $1000 when I bought them a couple years ago, and have not looked back. Patiently awaiting Fidelium interconnects.  
Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power

$25k speakers, are we there yet?
I have lusted after Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies since I first heard a pair around 1990. I just bought a pair of used Watt/Puppy 8's, set them up in my small listening room and am "over the moon" happy. I have listened to them for hours on end today ... 
Power Cable Suggestions
@mdrone - It has been awhile since I installed the Transparent PC and don't recall there was a big difference in sound other than more punch in the low end.
