Tube-friendly speakers

I'm currently using a pair of Magnepan MMG's and a Hsu Sub along with my AES Six Pac amps. I'd like to move up to a larger set of Maggies, but it's been suggested that 60W of tube power would not be enough.

What are some speakers that would mate well with these amps? I do like the "planar sound". I'm most interested in something full-range, but could run a pair of monitors with my sub.

Some Silverline are tube friendly, the Bolero for example, thouigh it's now quite expensive, but a lovely sound. I am on a similar journey myself. I listened to:
Art Deco's, very nice but expensice
Coincident Total Victory, not my cup of tea
Devore Gibbon 9's, very nice indeed, neutral, beguiling, non HiFi sound.
I have stlled on Daealus Da-rMa's, having heard them at RMAF. 93-4ish sensitivity, pretty flat 8ohm impedence

Fjn04; I will be using my Viva Solista 845 SET initially and see how it goes.
As to choice between the Devore 9's and Daedalus, I think I would have been very happy with either. Both are intensely musical as opposed to HiFi, presenting a natural, live music, being there sound. Ultimately, it was up to the wife, she preferred the look of the Da R ma's and as others have said, pictures do'nt do them justice, they look beautiful and you get a wide choice of wood to
