Theres a lot of good ones. Mac pretty much anything tubed or autoformered (among a BUNCH of really good Mac options) and Luxman, and Accuphase, and anything Nelson Pass probably ever did is in the neighborhood too. I tend to lean to something with a little more "thump" down low as the ported woofer can come off a little lacking with some of the vintage stuff, especially tube gears with smaller power supplies. An MC30 will sound fab on Cornwalls with 50's-60's jazz on vinyl, but I'd probably want to go to something with a little more low end authority for all around use. The ported aspect of this speaker changes the game a bit vs. their horn loaded counterparts.
