One considers the superfluid (SF) state of a Bose liquid with a strong repulsion between bosons, in which at T=0, along with a weak single-particle Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), there exists an intensive pair coherent condensate (PCC), analogous to the Cooper condensate in a Fermi liquid with an attraction between the fermions. Such a PCC emerges in a system of bosons due to an oscillating sign-changing momentum dependence of the Fourier component of the pair interaction potential, which is characteristic of a certain family of repulsion potentials. In such cases, the Fourier component is negative in some domain of nonzero momentum transfer, which corresponds to an effective attraction. The collective effects of renormalization (``screening'') of the initial interaction lead to a suppression of the repulsion and an enhancement of the effective attraction. It is the ratio of the BEC density to the full density of the liquid $n_0/n\ll 1$ that is used as a small parameter---unlike in the Bogolyubov theory for a quasi-ideal Bose gas, in which the small parameter is the ratio of the number of supracondensate excitations to the number of particles in an intensive BEC, $(n-n_0)/n_0\ll 1$. A closed system of nonlinear integral equations for the normal and anomalous self-energy parts is obtained, in the framework of a renormalized perturbation theory built on combined hydrodynamic and field variables. In the framework of the hard-spheres model, a spectrum of quasiparticles is obtained, which is in good accordance with the experimental spectrum of elementary excitations in superfluid $^4$He. The question of applicability of the Landau criterion in the absence of quantum vortices is discussed.
