Need ideas to match a pair of monitor with 40WPC tube amp


Dear fellow music lovers,

I have a classic LA Audio A1 40wpc integrated tube amp primarily use for bedroom size ~12x10.
Output: EL84 x 8, preamp section: 12AX7 x 2 and 12AU7 x 2  
I need a pair of small monitor (front ported) with 3/4 to 1" non-metallic tweeter and 5" quality midrange driver.

What would you recommend out there for under 1K used a pair?

TIA

"i have had poor experiences with these types of speakers, the super lightweight drivers seem to have a coloration i disliked... tried cabasses and zu’s... maybe i will give these omegas a try".


Ditto @jjss49
And here all this time I thought it was just my ears ringing or hyper-sensitivity to ultra efficient speaker drivers. :) Then folks changing tubes to try and make it right with high $ 300B tubes. Seems like low watt tube people are constantly changing tubes and speakers to find the sweet spot.  Too much of a costly balancing act for me.
