I have a pair of Spendor S 3/5 (not the slightly more forward S 3/5 e) which I am driving with a small push pull EL 84 integrated (Jolida 102B with EH gold pin EL 84s and some cap upgdrades) in a small room with great results. If price is an object try to get your hands on a pair of Sound Dynamics RTS 3's used for about $100-$150 and you will be very pleasantly surprised.
Small, tube-friendly speaker suggestions needed
I've been searching ad nauseum and still can't find my speaker. It needs to be a stand mount / monitor. I tried out ACI Sapphire XL recently and didn't like them (too hi fi sounding). I'm looking for a musical speaker like the Spendor S3/5. My amp is 30 wpc push-pull and I'm in a smaller room. Suggestions? Not interested in the Reference 3a speakers, though.
