Speaker Recommendation

Hi guys, I'm looking for some stereo floor-standing speakers that pairs well with a 40 watt per channel (into 8Ω) otl amp. My plan is for them to be mixed use between music and movies. My budget is around 1000-1500 dollars; I don't mind if the speakers are new or used. I'll be sitting around 10 feet away from the speakers. I'm using an avr as a preamp so I may decide to add a powered subwoofer as well. What do you guys recommend?

my advice, avoid speaker brands beginning with T.

Alright, what do you guys think about the Tannoy?

Uh....

I interpreted that as veiled advise to avoid tekton. I'm not sure why I'd need to avoid every single manufacturer that begins with the letter T.

Apologies. They still carry the 40i model, but it's $1082 each at scratch and dent. Very well reviewed. I've heard and really like the 60xti version and it plays well with lower watt amps.
I suspect the ML's speed would lend itself nicely to HT and listening.

Also worth a look:
