Something you need to consider: buying vintage speakers is usually fine (although most benefit from a crossover recap at some point); buying an unrestored (likely in your budget) vintage receiver in 2020 (most of those receivers being now 30 to 50 years old) means, more and more as years go by, playing with fire (almost literally). Old capacitors are a time bomb.
I'm not saying you SHOULDN'T do it, but it's something not enough vintage buyers consider; be prepared for a full recap of your receiver somewhere down the road.
