Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp.


I need your suggestions for full range floorstanding or other that can be driven by my rogue magnum 90 easily. I have no dealer close-by to listen to any. I am using a baetis streamer with a Rogue rp-5 pre and the magnum 90. My room is 13' x 16'.  I listen to male and female jazz singers. Some classic rock. My budget is 1,000-2,000 bucks. I have even considered DIY.
thanks

Agree with the SF recommendation, also Thiel CS 2.3s or 2.4 might work nicely for you.  Hard to drive but my 2.3s sound great with BAT VK55 (55 wpc, tube) and based on Herb's review and other Thiel users,  I have to think the Rogue is more than up to the task.  SF more smooth, Thiel more detailed to my ear.  I had the Maggies and liked high watt ss for these over the BAT tube amp, seemed more muscular and dynamic.

Re Thiel, lots of testimonials on the user group chat.  
Re Thiels being harsh, I guess I'd counter with equipment matching is something you need to very much take into consideration with Thiels, and IMO the Rogue 100 wpc tubes will be a great start.  The upside is midrange tone and timber esp w/ tubes is superb, and PRAT, dynamics are excellent, bass is solid too.  Admittedly, I've also fussed about with room treatments and tweaks to help control sibilance and reediness caused I think partially by the speakers, partially by the room, and also moved to a warmer DAC.  I want to try a BIG amp and the user reviews for the new GaNs from W4S, LSA, and Peachtree have and will continue to be very interesting.
