Speakers that are good with tubes


I have see several recommendations against tube amps powering certain speakers. But which speakers are known to really like time amps, especially high powered tube amps?

I understand the value and intrinsic benefits of smaller tube per amps.  In my case, I opted for power and have a pair of McIntosh  MC3500 Mk2 power amps being driven by a McIntosh C2700. I am running Focal Scala Evos which sound great, but what are other speaker options?
 

Thanks for the replies.  I have Focal Scala Utopia Evos.  They sound really good.  I wished that I had bumped up to the Maestros though.  I just didn’t know if there was a general type of speaker to steer toward.  Magico S5 and M2s sounded good.  So did Harbeth SLH5+HDs.  I didn’t think that the Sonys Faber Serafino or Amati Traditions sounded that great with the C2700/MC3500 Mk2s surprisingly.
