Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps

Looking for fairly efficient (preferably 90 db min and 92db even better) speakers for my audio mirror SET 45 watt mono blocks. The speaker set is for a medium to large size room (8 or 10” speakers are fine but 12” overkill). I also have an audio mirror tube line pre. So lots of tubes going on. My sota sapphire runs through a Sutherland 20/20 phono preamp which is solid state and helps balance the tube side of sound. I’m also using the audio mirror tube dac. I listen to classic rock and blues, and some jazz. I would like a good all around speaker that would match this system. The Fyne 502sp keeps getting recommended to me, but I have no experience with them. Please help friends ! Thanks !!

Thanks for all the input. Great options. Budget is 10k and below. I had Spendor a4s and they were too relaxed. I have the Klipsch forte 3s and they’re too unrefined. I tend to like natural or slightly warm speakers. Hope that helps.  Keep the recs coming !

Not opposed to used. I listen pretty much in the same position in a chair between the speaker so some but not a huge field is good. The problem with Klipsch is I was a bit miffed they came out with the forte 4’s so quickly after the 3’s and Several people who make audio equipment who I trust have been very disappointed in the quality of the Klipsch speakers recently, as in they aren’t what they used to be.

Thanks so much for all the recs. I’ve got a lot of research to do. I wonder how the Fynes would sound.  I have had thee of their dealers recommend them to me.  Has anyone paired the 502SP (or 702s) with SET amps?
