Default Part II, building first Mcintosh system, the speakers.

Hi,
Finally the dream of owning Mcintosh comes true.
These cannot be used as a main system due to lack of
Space in other part of the home. So I use it for BGM duty
Play pop FM stations and low playing level. Quite frankly,
I need this to be as beautiful to look at with reasonably good sound. So no fancy cables or accessories.
These what will be in this system
1. C2200 , now out for minor(I hope) repairs.
2. MC2102
3. MR87 tuner, on order.

Have these speakers in mind.

1. Used, rare, Watt Puppy 8
2. New JBL L100 Classic 75 Anniversary, love the look.
3. New Klipsch Heritage such as Heresy IV, Forte IV
4. SF Electa Amator III
5. TANNOY something that has heritage look.

I will be sure sit way off axis and out of any sweet spot though. As I said, BGM use. I want speakers to look
Old fashioned. Exception to Wilson as it was my dream speaker long ago.
As you will see in the photo attached, Mc will be far
Away making a sound from where I sit. I will not even have stereo separation.

Any idea? Is any of those unsuitable load to the MC2102?
