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.

Why not the Spendor S3/5 since you mnetioned them already?

Otherwise, I would second the Merlin TSM or alternatively suggest the Green Mountain Audio (GMA) Europa. Both should be driven by a 30 Watt amp without problems. I listened to the Callisto driven by a 18W Almarro amp, which made a very nice combination.

Avantgarde Unos or Duos can be heavenly. Could be a celestial match with your 30-wpc push-pull amp. In all my years of audio madness, I rue most the day when I sold my Avantgarde Duos and Lamm triode electronics.
