looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp.

Hello all  , happy to be back at this hobby.

Just acquired a Classe Cap 151 ( 150 watts at 8 ohms/ 225 at 4 ohms )

( Panasonic DVD-A ,Harmonic Technology Fantasy speaker wire & HT Truth Link I/C)

Looking a used stand mount speaker to match my amp , low volume listening a must .

This system stay in my 12 ' x 15' 1/2 room.

My budget is limited from $500 but can squeeze up to $800/1000

Here a few that  I like but never audition , so I am depending on your honest advise.

1. Nola boxer 2

2. Von Schweikert VR-1

3. Vienna Haydn Grand

4.open ...??

  A good sounding n musical speaker  can be driven with  my cap 151 & tube integrated amp

 in the near future. I listened below 9' 0 clock or 1/2 from zero , mostly at night time.

I thank you all in advance. pescolar

First of all I listened a lot soft rock and jazz.
Tube integrated amp ..next purchase after speaker.
I never heard any one of them yet. Thru reading reviews only.
You guys are right, I should go audition especially the Nola Boxer 2.
Yes ,I will go to the nearest dealer here in SF,Ca. soon.

Btw, are there any Classe Cap 151 owner's here at Audiogon ? and what speaker mostly they match?

Thanks.

I will not replace the classe amp, instead add a tube integrated to my system.

But one pair of speaker ,time to time listen with a tube or s/s amp.

So far my friend lend me his extra speaker that not in use  in his system. It is a Dynaudio Audience 72 connected to my sytem right now, Sounds very good but on a high volume which good enough for me, for now I have plenty of time to visit near audio dealer in my area and audition some few speaker .

Thank you all and I will let you know what I get but It will take some time.
