I recently picked up a mint Sansui au-4900 for a bargain price, so I’m looking for some speakers to pair with it. I’d rather them be of a similar vintage for the looks, and (as is always the case round here) not break the bank. I’m not after crystal sharpness, I like warmth, but I’d like some decent detail. I’ve been looking at a decent pair of Celestion Ditton 15s, but I don’t think they’ll play particularly nicely, as this amp is reputed to work best with speakers that were accused of being a little to sharp in the highs, if that makes sense. I’m in the UK for reference. Looking forward to reading your ideas!

The originals are either "the loudspeaker" or "the smaller loudspeaker". Later, they added advent/1, advent/2, and advent/3. You may need to replace the foam.

As a sidenote, I'm enjoying a pair of KEF Carina II speakers which might hit the mark and be easier to find!
