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.

I've had the same problem finding tube-friendly speakers for my 15W integrated. I settled on the Energy C-3's since I'm on a tight budget and they have a respectable 90dB in-room efficiency. I understand efficiency isn't everything, but it's a good starting point when shopping for speakers.

The Von Schweikert VR-1's are highly recommended for small tube systems. However, having 30W to play around with, I'm sure there's a lot more options out there.
