Obviously the Sherwood -- or any other integrated amp of the period -- would have been a mismatch to KLH Nines or Bozak Symphonies. We drove those speaker systems with an MC240.

You should have tried the MA230. Easily drove the Nines and has enough juice for the Symphonys, though I never had a chance to try it on the Bozaks. The MA230 was a nice sounding mate to the Nines provided you kept them below clipping. The maximum voltage the Nines can handle is 49.5 and the MA230 hovered right there.
I have driven my Symphonys with the S5000II. No problem unless you like to rattle windows.

Bozak Symphonies are sensitive enough to be driven by a Sherwood in a modest-sized room, and probably sound good. If you were spending $1000 (in the early 1960s) on a pair of speakers, however, you would not be likely to settle on a $200 (or so -- I don't recall the exact price) integrated amplifier.
The Nines, however, were another matter. With low sensitivity, and limited dynamic range and power handling, they presented a very different model. The MC240 we used was adequate and did not audibly clip, but you could hear a substantial difference when you substituted an MC275.
