recommended speakers for Raven Blackhawk 3.1


I could really use some advice from the Audiogon community regarding speakers to pair with my Raven Blackhawk (20watt) tube amp?  Currently I have B&W 802 series 80 with a REL s812s sub and the speakers are just too inefficient (85db).  I've listened to Klipsche Forte IV's and LaScalas and was not impressed.  I've considered the Reference 3A  MM De Capo BE  or B&W 705 S2 but have not heard them yet.  I've also considered the Dynaudio Special 40 but not sure the amp will drive them sufficiently.  My budget is around $3K whether used or new.  Any suggestions from others out there in the Audiogon community?

I also have a Raven Blackhawk and love my Goldenear Triton’s.  With their efficiency and built in subs I have no need for more power.  Also, good values on the used market.
