Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp

My favorite sound seems to come from an SET amp and single-driver speakers but I want to leave the amp on all the time and I have kids in the house so I decided to exclude output tubes.  I went on a hunt for a solid state amp with an SET sound and landed on the First Watt SIT-1 monoblocks which I love.  I'm using them with Omega Super Alnico High Output monitors and it's a great combo but I wonder how much better speakers like this can get with this amp.  I have my eye on Voxativ, Teresonic, Audience, and maybe Audio Note or Daedalus.  Any suggestions?

You might want to try the Spatial Audio Triode Masters.They are made just for SET amps and I have seen only good reviews on them.

@ggking7  Are you closer to making a final choice?

Probably won't be making a move on this in the near term.  I need to sell off some gear to gather funds.

For the last three weeks, I've driving a DIY version of the SIT-3 with AN K LX speakers.

The SIT-3s sit next to the DIY F4s and a pair of DIY Aleph 2.

There's also been a DIY SIT version of the XA25 ( SAS252) which I want.

After that... I might just have achieved nirvana, I think.
