I have a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors paired with an Aric Audio 18wpc SE KT88 amplifier and I think they sound fantastic. They don't go very low in bass but the bass that they deliver is clean and extremely tuneful and textured for the type of music I listen. Another option I had considered was Tekton Design Impact Monitors which should also sound great with low-mid power tube amps like your LM 518. They are probably closer to full-range but I'm doubtful if they can deliver the "soul" that the Omega speakers deliver.
Stand-mount speaker/monitor recommendation
Looking for recommendations for natural, resolving, engaging monitors that match well with mid-powered tube amplification (~20Wpc > 8 Ohms). I’m moving up from the likes of Devore 3s and Harbeth P3ESR.
Considering speakers like the Omega Super Alnico High Output.
System:
Ortofon Black > Rega RP6 > Musical Surroundings Nova II (Herron VTPH2 waiting in the wings) > Line Magnetic 518 >
