tube friendly speaker rec


loooking for suggestions for tube friendly monitors.
using a prima luna dialogue one with quad 22L speakers, at moderate levels sound ok but seem to lose focus as they get louder which makes me think they are a little power hungry.
have around $2000 budget. tinking about triangle comete but afraid they may be too bright,while merlins are out of my price range.do not know if totem or dynaudio work well
with tubes and was wondering about the new GMA Eos.
any thoughts appreciated

Silverline SR series
They discontinued the SR15 (I won't part with them) but Alan makes MUSIC!!!
I heard the 22L only briefly and it wasn't in my system. I didn't like their highs. I thought they had a "acidic" coloration. Not sure how else to say it other than they weren't smooth, nor clear. And I thought the bass was trying too hard to sound big. I didn't like them. The same store had some ProAc Studio 130 and they sounded much nicer for little more money.

So in my opinion, the Triangles will be a definite step up in terms of high fidelity.

are there sonic differences between the comete es and newer models? there seem to be good deals around on the es model is the ex worth the exta cost?
checked out reviews of the omega line. they appear to lean towards the bright side which concerns me a little. can anyone comment on the sound?
I love my Reference 3a Di Capo i's with my Primaluna Prologue 2 . The Di Capo's were designed for tube amps .
While auditioning , I heard them with a SS Carey amp and did not not care for the sound at all . I switched to tube amps , Cary and Cayin , and purchased them on the spot !

Good luck .
Panu21, Jump all over the Omega's. I have the Compact Hemps with Deep Hemp subs, powered by an 8 watt 300b amp. These are a fast, dynamic and very tonal speaker. I've been around the block and this is were I've ended up. Check out the Omega site (Louis is a great guy to work with) and also look over at the Audio Circles site there are a couple of pair of used Max Hemps for sale in your price range. Good Luck
