Recommend me some speakers. Old school set up
Discussion
What's your budget?
New or used?
How big is the room?
Do you have permission for floor standing speakers, or stand mount, or on a bookcase?
With budget no object, try looking at PMC - the twenty range.
Not cheap. but will last a lifetime.

Had a pair of these for years, fed from an Ion Obelisk 2, then a Musical Fidelity X-A2 and they've always sounded great.

I was thinking second hand. not wanting to spend a huge amount, maybe 200 ? room is about 20ft x 12ft if that helps. prefer floor standers really. had a quick look at the Mission 753, nice looking speaker. I also have a spare Alpha 7r cd player going spare New or used?

I've used Monitor Audio GS10s in the past which are excellent - not far behind the speakers I replaced them with, which were a LOT more money. I imagine you could pick some used ones up close to budget. I still have mine, although very very rarely listen to music in the room they're in - but I am still surprised at just how good they are for the cost.
ETA : Not floor standers, so maybe not suitable for you. But having said that, I would prefer floor standers too but despite multiple home demos of different types, floor standers just do not seem to work in my lounge. Speakers that blew me away in a shop demo were useless at home.

Do you like the same sort of sounding hifi as me?
I think Some liked the EPOS ES11's which are a stand mount but a bit of an acquired taste. The Mission speakers that everybody raved about were the 752's. The ones to get are the Freedoms with the Tweeters under the Mid/Bas.
