tubes with thiel, meadowlark or revel

I am trying to help a very busy friend assemble his system, or start to anyway. He has the VTL MB125 monos (125 watts in tetrode, 60 in triode) and needs speakers. I'm looking at used, as his budget is $2000 shipped. The speakers I'm considering are the Thiel 3.6s, Meadowlark Kestrel 2s or Ospreys (if some become available) and the Revel F30s.

Musical tastes range from jazz and acoustic to classic rock.

Yes, I saw the discussion below about the 3.6s with tubes, but wondering if anyone has tried these others as well or can offer any thoughts. Thanks much!

If you are considering the Kestrel 2s, you should also look into a pair of Shearwater Hotrods (I doubt that you'll find Ospreys within your budget). While I haven't heard the Kestrel 2s, I lived with a pair of Shearwaters for over a year and I was duly impressed.

Good luck!
