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?

Tannoy should be considered. They do all I need from a loudspeaker. Old or new doesn't matter, mine are from 1975.

I've heard very good things about Martin Logan Motion XL 60s. Supposed to be quite easy to drive with tubes.

Not sure of your music tastes or room size but
a pair of Rogers 3/5 or equivalent would be a
good start. So would the earlier mention of
Fritz. 
Personally I, like the Islandman, have older Tannoys
I bought in your price range.

Go do some listening!!
