speakers for tube amp

Hi guys!
I just took the plunge into the HI-FI world and I just purchased my first tube amp; Jolida 202 from Bob Latino here in the gon.

I listened to a pair of Klipsch RB 61 ll here in Mexico with a little tube amp and I really liked the sound. Now I have an amp but I am not sure what speakers to get; I was thinking 61´s (efficient and liked the sound) but I want to ask the forum:

what other options do I have in that price range?

I listen to hard rock, heavy metal, jazz and classical. My room is small (11*13*10h) I rather not have a sub, but the fact is that I like bass, but not too much. I do not mind buying used speakers as long as they come from a reputable person.

Charles1dad - Good recommendations. Of those you listed I have heard Zu Tekton and Sonist. All would fit the bill nicely.
If the Sonist distribution was a little more accessible I just might have a pair in my room right now. I really liked them the two times I heard them.

Hi,
Sebrof I`ve yet to hear Tonian Labs or Zu speakers. I hope to get the chance at RMAF next month. Curious just based on word of mouth and reviews.

Thanks for the input.

The 61´s are 399 usd (open box), measurements are in ft. I liked the clear sound of the set up I listened. I am no expert but music seemed to come in a constant and fluent wave, no ups and downs and the volume made no difference in clarity.

I really appreciate the speaker selection; I will look into it.

Triangle Speakers are worth a look. Very high value, great sound, and tube friendly in general.
