Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp.

I need your suggestions for full range floorstanding or other that can be driven by my rogue magnum 90 easily. I have no dealer close-by to listen to any. I am using a baetis streamer with a Rogue rp-5 pre and the magnum 90. My room is 13' x 16'.  I listen to male and female jazz singers. Some classic rock. My budget is 1,000-2,000 bucks. I have even considered DIY.
thanks

Hello,
I like ProAc speakers for $1800, Coincedent super Eclipse. I think they are rated at 14 ohms. I have heard them on a lot of Rogue gear. $1600 used. System Audio speakers. These three are great choices. My favorite is the Coincident super eclipse. These would cost $10k today. The ProAc are a little warm with the silk dome tweeter with tubes.

Hello,
I second the Totems. They really disappear on tubes.

I have the same Rogue RP5 and the ST100.  Front speakers are Ascend Towers with RAAL.  Sound is outstanding. 

That said, the Towers with RAAL new are beyond your budget.  Sometimes they come available on the used market (I've seen them on usaudiomart).  Not a Tower, but the Ascend Sierra 2EX is a close second per user reviews - I've not heard these but am considering upgrading my S2's to the EX version).

Listen, all I can say is I've owned and paired both. I have a Rogue Cronus Magnum II, and before I upgraded to Sonus faber Sonettos, I paired the Rogue with Sonus faber Venere 2.5. The sound is incredible, and that's not only my opinion, but audiophile friends that have listened to my set up as well. One of those has over $90,000.00 invested in his system. There are used 2.5's available for less than $2,000.00 and you can't go wrong. Again, I've owned and paired both so I know first hand - not a guess! Happy listening.
