Speakers for 300B --- Klipsch Heresy 4 or other ideas???


Hello, I'm looking for speakers to pair with my Elekit 300B integrated amp. We just moved from Calif to Michigan and I sold all my speakers because we didn't want to pay for a second moving POD. (we got rid of half our stuff) So starting fresh, I'm looking at some options for a good pairing with the 300B. I had been using Tekton Enzo 2.7 which were a fairly good pairing with their 98db sensitivity even though they dip to 4 ohms. It's a long wait for Tektons now and I read some interesting reviews of Heresy 4's. Better bass and less horn honk than the previous model 3's seem to be the take-aways. Anyone using them with flea-watt tubes? 

Some other ideas are:
Decware DM 945
Omega speakers
Seas A26 kit @ Madisound

I'd like to spend $3k or less. My music listening is very broad, but chamber, symphonic and old school jazz make up the majority. I listen less loud and need something that sounds good at low-medium volume. I also value good dynamic range. I need violins and other acoustic instruments to  sound realistic. Any and all ideas welcomed. Thanks.

That hurts to hear you sold your speakers....  fortunately there is a lot of good gear cheap if you are patient.   My brother picked up a like new Velodynr HGS 15 for $195 at an estate sale.   I picked up a mint Sonic Frontiers pre for $ 500 tonight.  There are some good deals .   
I’m having a 300b built to drive my Forte and I think 8 watts will be enough for my 15  x 12 area .   
Something like Zu or Omega or Klipsch  that has high sensitivity.....8 watts my be plenty for some but not if you have a big area.   
I sat in my chair the other night and measured 80 - 85 dB and it was louder than I would normally play it , so I think I’ll be good.   
I’m already thinking of what to do with my existing amps.  I think I am going to build an open baffle kit  or maybe a pair of high eff monitors 
I don’t know why all the hate for Klipsch....  I am loving the Forte IV, I think they sound more alive than most speakers.  They are only as good as the electronics you pair them with.   

Thats the great thing about this hobby, many different flavors to choose from .  

Tastes change. lifestyles change.....  good thing theres about 1000 different speakers to choose from
Congrats....   enjoy.   Please post your impressions after spending g some time with them
