With a 300B amp, you want an efficient speaker that has enough transparency, especially in the midrange, to let the amp show its stuff. Many SET enthusiasts choose Lowther because of the 98db efficiency, the high detail, natural tonal qualities, single driver format w/ no crossovers. I use them and love them. There are also some others that fall into this category, AER MK1, REPS-1, Fostex, etc. Some speakers that use Lowther are, Lammhorn, ORIS horns, Beauhorn, Carfrae, Hedlund, Medallion. Many enclosures that use Lowther can also use AER and REPS-1.
Unfortunately, you won't find electrostatics to suit your amp due to typical e-stat load difficulties and low efficiency. You will be confined primarily to cone driver systems of 8-16 ohms. Of these, the single driver systems are typically used with 300B's for the same reason most choose 300B amps. They let the music through.
