Speaker Recommendation

Hi guys, I'm looking for some stereo floor-standing speakers that pairs well with a 40 watt per channel (into 8Ω) otl amp. My plan is for them to be mixed use between music and movies. My budget is around 1000-1500 dollars; I don't mind if the speakers are new or used. I'll be sitting around 10 feet away from the speakers. I'm using an avr as a preamp so I may decide to add a powered subwoofer as well. What do you guys recommend?

Both the Sonus Fabor and JBL seem like low sensitivity speakers. Do you think the 40 watts can handle them?

Alright, what do you guys think about the Tannoy Revolution XT 6F? There seems to be a decent pair for a reasonable price near me. Recommended amp power is well within the 25-100 watt range.

I interpreted that as veiled advise to avoid tekton. I'm not sure why I'd need to avoid every single manufacturer that begins with the letter T.
