who has experience with Joseph Audio?
I have always enjoyed listening to them at the Stereophile NYC Shows. I especially enjoyed the 33LE's at the 2007 HE Show. I have never owned a pair, but they are on my future short list. Jeff Joseph is also one of the truly nice guys I have come ... 
Next step: tube pre or tube power amp?
Another alternative could be a hybrid amp and a tube preamp. 
Usher BE-718 or Harbeth HL-P3es2: Your Opinion
I will second the Ohm Walsh Micro Talls which are great speakers and have a tiny footprint. The Guru QM10's are also great speakers which sound best against the wall or corners. 
Speakers for Onkto A-9555
I use the Ohm Walsh Micro Talls with my Onkyo 9555 and it is a very good combination. You don't see them used too often, but they don't cost much more than $700. brand new and you get 60 day trial period with a full refund in the VERY unlikely eve... 
Nait 5i speaker choices
I think any of these speakers would be excellent choices that would work very well with your electronics. 
What floorstanding speakers should I buy?
I own the Ohm Walsh Micro Talls and they are great speakers with a very small footprint that would work very well with your NAD. 
Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound?
Ohm makes fantastic and very under appreciated speakers that have a HUGE soundstage, among many other attributes, and have a SMALLER footprint than most stand mount speakers. 
totem arro
The Arros are very nice speakers, but I like the Ohm Walsh Micro Talls and Sjofn HiFi's Guru QM 10's even better. They are both more dynamic and sound bigger to my ears. 
Inexpensive high efficiency bookshelf speakers
Although I have never heard them I have read great things about Tekton Design speakers who make high efficiency small speakers for low and moderate prices. 
Best speakers for tube amp looking for suggestions
Hornshoppe Horns will shine with your 30 WPC tube amp, very immediate sounding with great imaging and a midrange to die for. 
If you could do a blind shootout...
Ohm-any model, Hornshoppe Horns, Guru QM10s, Morduant Short Performa 6's. 
Budget floorstanders under $500 ?
I have owned the Soliloquy 6.2's and I feel they are excellent speakers, but I don't think you could find them for $500. or less. I have also owned the Mission M71's which are VERY good for the money but of course they don't have the best bottom e... 
Used/New Tube Integrated for $500.000
A non-modified Sophia EL34 integrated amp can usually be had for $450.-$500. and provides excellent bang for the buck if 30 wpc is enough power. If you modify this unit, as I did, you can take it to another level. On the negative side no remote an... 
speaker recommendation for low watt tube amp
Hornshoppe Horns are fantastic speakers which work well with lower powered tubes or solid state and along with Ohm loudspeakers are the best values I have heard in audio today. I guess the fact that both companies sell factory direct only enables ...
