tube friendly speaker rec

loooking for suggestions for tube friendly monitors.
using a prima luna dialogue one with quad 22L speakers, at moderate levels sound ok but seem to lose focus as they get louder which makes me think they are a little power hungry.
have around $2000 budget. tinking about triangle comete but afraid they may be too bright,while merlins are out of my price range.do not know if totem or dynaudio work well
with tubes and was wondering about the new GMA Eos.
any thoughts appreciated

Omegas are made for SET amps IMO.
They can sound bright with some components
so, system matching & synergy is crucial.
Bass is locking with smaller models and pairing them with
quality sub ( like their own or Rel or ML ) is a must.
Personally, I really like Omegas and they are not such a bad value ether.

Good luck

speakersfullrange item 1211862408 Pretty sure this pair has the 1st pair of Fostex fe206esr US beta test drivers hand made in japan not the fe206esr mass production driver made in china. And even if it has the standard fe206esr is a heck of a deal. Cost me more to build a pair that hes asking.
