Efficient 2 way bookshelf/monitors under 2k

Currently I have a Decware SET integrated running a VPI Prime, Parasound JC3+, Nagaoka MP200 cart, through  a pair of Klipsch RB5 II’s. Before you snicker at the Klipsch, they sound wonderful. Not as exact as my Thiel CS2.4’s, but wonderful none the less. I hooked these speakers up after years of just lying around, just out of curiosity and they astounded me. So natural. 

So so it got me thinking, what 2 way speaker would’ve be a good match for a 6 watt SET integrated.  I’d like something with 92db efficiency +/- and cost around $2k +/-.

Ref 3A de Capos.

I have a Decware mini torii. VPI hw-19 mk iv
it won't be blasting loud but it will sing, detailed realistic.

i have some Klipsch Quartets i used with this louder but not as sweet a sound

the load on the de capos is pretty flat an easy load for tubes

There were a lot for sale around 2008-2011 when i bought mine.  We the new BE and the weird finish the older i model has disappeared.  I love the cherry wood veneer on mine.  Don't care for the piano black finish but I have a post Victorian home :)
