Whatever speakers you want….I have an mx110z with MC30 mono blocks driving Sonus Faber Venere-S 4 ohms speakers and it’s sounds excellent.
My MC240 is run thru an MX130 av pre and drives my custom refurbished JBL L100s.

whatever you want….

That's a big room. If you want loud rock and sit pretty far from the speakers, you'll need something very efficient. If you sit up close and don't want things too loud, you have more options.

Of those I've had I'd recommend Altec Model Nineteen.

Altec 14s, Klipsch K-horns would be others.

I've used several different with that combo. Presently a pair of original KLH Model Five's. Have also used Klipsch Cornwall's, La Scala's, AR3's, and several others. Depending on your room size, you should be able to get away with any speaker you want.

EV Patrician IV (I'm partial to a pair I plans built).

 

[longgone]

thank you all.
I have some Rogers LS7 speakers on my radar.

Yep, K-Horns, Cornwalls, and many of the big JBLs were pretty efficient. The question often comes down to $$$$$$$$. You dig? LOL

Or any of the Altec variants that preceded the 19's. In my world JBL's would also be a consideration.
Sounds like you're in for some good listening.

Altecs, accept no substitute.

Use speakers with at least an 89db efficiency rating. Higher would be better. I'd recommend any of the ZU Audio speakers as all are very efficient and will play loud.

Specified as 88 dB sensitivity. You'll probably want to sit up close to those. How close will you sit to the speakers and how loud will you want to listen?

Klipsch Cornwalls

I used a MC 240 to drive my Altec Carmels which were very efficient and later my Bozak B-4000 Contemporaries after trying Klipsch Cornwalls back in the 60's. But a 240 wasn't enough when editing live recordings I made, so I added a second 240 giving me over 100 watt per channel. The speakers were rated at 94.5 db 1 watt 1 meter in todays standards. Live tapes could easily have 14 db peaks above what professional VU meters showed at the time recording at 15 or 30 ips 2 channels.
