Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes.

I am interest in spending between $3-$3.5K.  I listen to rock and jazz via vinyl (Music Hall mmf5.1 with a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+) or digital streaming music library or Tidal via a W4S moded Sonos Connect thru a Schiit Audio Gungnir DAC.  My room is 17' x 24', but I listen close up - 10' from the speakers.  I have been considering Golden Ear Triton 2+ speakers.

Here's an Absolute Sound review of the then-new Magnepan 1.7s.

And here's an Absolute Sound review of the 1st gen. Rogue Cronus Magnum powering a pair of Magnepan 1.7s.

I'd think the higher-powered KT120s would sound that much better. You do have to changed theRogue Cronus Magnum's jumpers inside to get the 4-ohm output. I've been loving and enjoying my 1.7s for 3 years now. If I were to change the electronics, it would be to the Rogue Cronus Magnum with the KT120 output tubes.

There is so much those Maggies do right for a reasonable amount of money. Unless you're in a huge room, 120 wpc should be plenty.
