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 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?

fynes should sound just fine... 😉😁

seriously, vlad's 6c33c based monos have real world power for many many speakers, don't need the very high efficiency types, so if you have those amps, the choice of applicable, well mating speakers is ample

just stay above 88 db-m/w and below 4-5 ohm impedance for best performance

My Hornings sound awesome with an 8W amp.  Here are a couple I see for sale:
