Good advise from verdantaudio. To me, speakers are a very personal choice. So I won’t say go with brand X or Y. I can only suggest to keep couple of things in mind, pick a high efficiency speaker (atleast 92db or higher). They are much easier to drive with moderate to low power solid state or tube amps. And if possible, stick with a single driver speaker that offers full range.
To my ears, multi-driver speakers sounds bit dis-jointed due to multiple wavefronts not reaching the listener at exactly the same time. In an ideal world a speaker designer would want to design a single transducer that addresses the entire frequency range – the ideal of the single-driver speaker. That transducer would cover the lowest bass notes as well as the finest details of the upper treble.
There are quite a few speaker manufacturers that are offering single full range drivers. Once you hear a single driver speaker, it’s very unlikely you would consider anything else. I believe you’re already planning to augment the low / mid bass with a pair of REL subs.
Good luck!
