Silverline speakers , new and used at your price point. Average efficiency 93 - 95 db, usually equipped with some potent woofers and a very pleasant/natural "House sound". An Aleph 3 would probably be a real potentially nice combination but try and get some tubes into the pre if you could. I owned that amp years ago and liked it a lot but didn't have the Silverlines (Sonata 2's) I have now. What is your pre? and room size?
