Best 2W Speaker under 1500

Odd as it may sound I have never owned a pair of 2 way speakers. But I want to put together a system for my den which is about 10x15. I plan on using an old CAL icon mkII that has been sitting around gathering dust as my source. I plan on using a tube amp running about 50-70 watts. Can anyone give me an idea what kind of speakers to demo? I would like to get a speaker that has a good bass, but a non-fatiguing speaker is important as well.

thanks

1audiofile,

I have never heard sonus faber, but there is a dealer in my area that sells them. The trouble is that I just never feel right using his speakers as a demo and then buying used ones on the net. But I did call him and he told me that they would be the closest ( in his opinion ) to the vandersteen in a small speaker.

Tweekerman,

I went to e-speakers but it looks like everything they sell is for the diy guy. Or at least that is all their web page would show me. I'm sure they sell quality speakers but unfortunately if I decide to resell...... most of my buyers will be those " commercial audiophiles " Who want to buy a name brand speaker. And if you have checked audigon I think you will find even the name brand stuff isn't selling very welll.

I like the idea of Meadowlarks nad I will demo them shortly. I have a friend who has a pair of Silverline SR16's I'm going to listen too.
