First Watt J2 & speaker pairing ?

I've been told by a knowledgeable audio retailer / friend that the FW J2 is just about the best class A he has heard . 

This piqued my curiosity . It'd be nice if it was more powerful making speaker matching easier . It's not and that is probably part of the reason for its pure sounding nature. ?  Don't really know ....yet . 

What I do know is what I'm looking for  better sound stage & imaging , dynamic with reasonable accuracy. I've been using an older Stereo 70 with older speakers and there are moments that are just astounding.   Just want more of that.  

My listening area / room is challenging  about 12 x 15 x 7"h 

but one side is open to an area roughly the same size .

I'll listen to Jazz , classical ,  & vocals at no more than 80db [ low 70"s for 95%] 

The only speaker that I'm vaguely familiar with - from reviews is the DW6- seems to be a good match for impedance & sensitivity - it's the right price as well 

not wanting to spend more than $2500 - 

I was considering the XA25 but read some reviews about horrific break in time & sounds . 

IMO you’ll find an open baffle speaker most satisfying.

Agree,  I may not be ready for the " First Watt " experience.  It seems to be too limited / restricted .  

 Thinking of doing the more conventional / recommended route - Get some speakers that "do it " for me first .  If they happen to be efficient great more amp options . As good as the DQ's are they are not the be all to end all .

I may turn around and go in the opposite direction- hard to drive LRS+  and look for a good amp to drive them .. That is a crazy scenario- heard those speakers & like 

but the cost of a good amp is multiples of the speaker !

And I'd have at least 2 systems anyway   lol  

The XA-25 would be more flexible with system in general - Still gives me  class A 

May have a chance to hear them this week 

Anyone using Klipsch speakers - specifically the Heresy's with first watt amps ? 

very curious how they'd play together - 

Follow up - have the J2  , using Dahlquist M905 speakers ( 8 ohm , 90 dB) 

Amp is great !!  Then I bought a Rouge RP 1 preamp and everything just even Better .
