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?

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:

The bad news: the Klipsch RP-8000F is a greatly flawed speaker.

The good news: it can be fixed.

Snag those tekton lores with the be tweeter.  Those tweets alone are $300 a piece.  The tektons will pair well with what you have.

they’ll be gone soon i bet, dont sleep on em
