speaker recommendation for 35watt tube mono blocks


I'm looking for a fun exciting speaker that will sing at any level. $1k-$3k    I'm demoing the original Klipsch Forte with Forte II mid/treble drivers and rebuilt crossover paired with old RCA amps. They're a lot of fun to blast and fill the house.  I miss however definition and detail in the imaging when sitting in the sweet spot.  It's a softer focus.  Is the Forte III also like this?    
Zu has caught my attention. 
Others?

I would go with original fortes...should be had for less than $1,000.  Upgrade with alk crossovers ($375) otherwise they will be to shrill....and Crites  titanium diaphragms $75). You will be all in for $1,500 with an amazing pair of speakers that love tubes.  I am using an 8 watt SET amp and have added subs for the low end.  However the forte’s sing with my fisher x202b, which is comparable power wise to your mono blocks
