OK Thanks again for the comments. I've gotten things tidied up a bit. The source is a Yamaha PF-1000 turntable(circa 1985). I like it a lot. Pioneer A-27 integrated amp(circa 1981). I also like it a lot. So, finally, the speakers. I am looking for speakers from the 80's. Classics that will do Tattoo You justice. My father likes long speaker wire runs and I don't want him to feel under-powered, so I'd imagine that to make sure that the speakers are relatively efficient. His placement options will be limited by decorative sensibilities, so... I have other ideas, but I feel I've rambled. Oh, yeah, $500. Thanks very much.
