Speakers for triode tube amps

I have a Luxman CL 38u SE tube preamp and matching MQ 88 SE Triode tube amp rated at 25 wpc. I m using ProAc Anniversary Tablets at the moment and I’m wondering how I can upgrade to a speaker that can be driven with 25 Triode watts. Any recommendations on a high quality 8 ohm speaker that is easy to drive?  I know Wilson Tune Tots are out of the question (impedance/ sensitivity issues- they were my first choice.  Not interested in horn loaded speakers.  I Love the Harbeth P3 but I already own a pair of 40.1s in my main system. Any suggestions??

If you are looking at using a triode tube amp, you might want to read this article- it will help you sort out what you are looking for:http://www.atma-sphere.com/en/resources-paradigms-in-amplifier-design.html
FWIW most of the speakers mentioned on this thread are of the Power Paradigm persuasion.


Apparently the Spatial is an excellent recommendation- its well priced and easy with triode amps.

I had a pair of these, with the phase plug upgrade and they were great sounding. Steve just has a way with making things sound great.

Simple design, but very effective.
