High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k

Tube integrated

Review: Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier
I am looking for anyone who is using this integrated with the phono stage.   How good is the MC/MM section?  Is it good or great?

Thanks for starting this thread.  I will be ordering from Mick a Cortese LCR in a few months and anticipate a nice positive change in my already great sounding vinyl setup. 
OTL amps, my pick for the tube used.

Thanks for the nice review on the Cortese LCR.  I have recently communicated with Mick and I will be ordering the LCR in a few months.  I listen mostly to vinyl and the LCR will be my centerpiece in my retirement system.

Thanks Teajay for your prompt reply.  I have owned both a 2a3 & 300b.  I also like the 2a3 tube better along with the 45 tube.  However   I have a interesting dilemma.  The current room I have the LTA would proably work best but in around 15 m...

Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
