speaker recommendation for 35watt tube mono blocks

I'm looking for a fun exciting speaker that will sing at any level. $1k-$3k    I'm demoing the original Klipsch Forte with Forte II mid/treble drivers and rebuilt crossover paired with old RCA amps. They're a lot of fun to blast and fill the house.  I miss however definition and detail in the imaging when sitting in the sweet spot.  It's a softer focus.  Is the Forte III also like this?    
Zu has caught my attention. 
Others?

Yamaha NS1000 or 1000M or 1000X these luv 35w of tube.
Very detailed, exciting, and put you through the wall tight bass with slam.
Should be able to pick up a good pair for that kind of money

Cheers George

Third on the Ref 3A de Capos. A few on sale here and on other audio sale sites. They are sensitive and project beautifully.
