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?

One of the very most musical systems I ever heard had a Mac C22 preamp, Marantz 8B power amp, and a pair of KEF Calinda loudspeakers.  Absolute f'ing magic.  The 8B power amp is 35 wpc and was a good match for these loudspeakers.

They're a little hard to find in the USA, but can readily be had from a European seller for about $500 US plus shipping.
