Help Choosing Speakers

I am looking to find a nice pair of speakers that will work well in a relatively small dedicated listening room. My setup is 100% analog, tube amp, turntable, phono pre. I am trying to keep a minimalist approach.

Turntable: Thorens TD-150
Phono Pre: AudioResearch PH3
Amp: Decware MiniTorii
Speakers: DIY MarkAudio A12P in SuperPensil

Room Dimensions: 11' W x 12' 4" L x 10' H

So far I have been looking around at a lot of options and while I don't want to limit myself to 94 dB+ efficient speakers. I would like to be able to keep my Decware MiniTorii in place if possible.

LegacyAudio Signature SE is top on my list, little bit more than I wanted to spend, but this is a lifetime purchase. I have also looked at SalkSound Veracity ST but I am concerned about the Decware amps being able to push those. I have also looked at the Decware HR-1s which look impressive.

Of course its difficult to buy speakers without hearing them, any other recommendations/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has heard the Legacy Audio Signatures with a Decware amplifier and has any details, that would be spectacular.

Thanks,

Ron

hifiron, I don’t doubt that the Spatial M4 Turbo S are fatiguing to you but am slightly surprised since I haven’t seen anyone else describe them that way.. Admittedly, I inquired for my own interests, as I’ve been eyeing the M3 Turbo S as my first set of decent speakers for a while. But with your and kalali’s opinions on their lack of synergy with rock music, I’m more hesitant now. Rock music is all I listen to.
Maybe I should try to audition them with a more forgiving DAC, such as the NuPrime DAC-9 and a tube amp?
