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?

I had the Druid v's and I currently own def 4's which are in my 2nd system.

I upgraded both as much as possible and tried several amp combinations over a period of time and I came to the conclusion that the frd doesn't measure flat and has a bump up in frequency around 2k to 4K,just a shortcoming to the mechanical crossover to the whizzer cone.

They are a very lively and vivid speaker especially the def's having 2 frd.

I recently moved to the Tekton double impact and couldn't be happier.
Tekton does make several smaller models that you might check out for your smaller room.
