Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?

Hey Guys,
Wondering about speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated.
Using KT150 and Mullard CV4003. So maybe 50 watts in triode and 100 watts in ultralinear.
Don't like ultralinear much. (GeorgeHiFi linked some curves showing ringing in ultralinear:
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/primaluna-dialogue-premium-hp-tube-rolling-suggestions-to-red...)
Setup is in a small room currently. Had used Revel F206 (which I still have) and now Zu Druid MK IV.
Revels sound pretty good but I don't think they show their best with limited tube power.
Plenty of power for the Druid, and it sounds pretty good but response curve seems uneven to me.
So Revel nice response curve but a little tame. Druid pretty lively/ fun but uneven tonal balance.
Anyone have a particular favorite speaker match up for that amp in the $3K-$5K range?

You may want to take a look at my FritzSpeakers Carbon 7SE model which are below your budget.  With the smooth series crossovers they are very easy to drive even with low powered tube amps.  Conventional crossover impedance curves usually look like a mountain range with large peaks and valleys.  With a tube amp, this will result in an uneven frequency response with bumps and suck-outs due to the fact that tube amps will deliver more power to the frequencies with the higher impedance peaks.
