Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps


Looking for fairly efficient (preferably 90 db min and 92db even better) speakers for my audio mirror SET 45 watt mono blocks. The speaker set is for a medium to large size room (8 or 10” speakers are fine but 12” overkill). I also have an audio mirror tube line pre. So lots of tubes going on. My sota sapphire runs through a Sutherland 20/20 phono preamp which is solid state and helps balance the tube side of sound. I’m also using the audio mirror tube dac. I listen to classic rock and blues, and some jazz. I would like a good all around speaker that would match this system. The Fyne 502sp keeps getting recommended to me, but I have no experience with them. Please help friends ! Thanks !!

Are you open to buying used?  Do you need a wider sweet spot or are you only concerned with one optimal listening position for yourself?

I believe that horns love tubes and agree with others who have recommended Klipsch. Specifically, I think the Forte IV’s hit a sweet spot and may be a good fit for your room size. 

Not opposed to used. I listen pretty much in the same position in a chair between the speaker so some but not a huge field is good. The problem with Klipsch is I was a bit miffed they came out with the forte 4’s so quickly after the 3’s and Several people who make audio equipment who I trust have been very disappointed in the quality of the Klipsch speakers recently, as in they aren’t what they used to be.

If Agon does not eliminate the attached link, this is a great review of one of the Daedalus Audio speakers (Muse Studio) that are just a bit more than your budget.  As I said earlier, stunningly beautiful as they are sonically.
