Speakers to pair with a Red Wine Audio Sig 15

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on speakers to pair with a RWA sig 15(budget is around 1500 max ideally less - so we aer probably talking used). I listen to about 80% rock/pop,and about 20% jazz with some electronic and hip hop sprinkled in. My apt is one long space about 13 wide 45 long and 9 tall. The stereo is on the long wall and I listen about 9 ft from my speakers. I have already gotten the following suggestions: Tekton Lore, Lore-S, Omega Super 6 XRS and Zu. I have heard the Zu Omens and it wasn't my cup of tea. I like the Lore-S, electrostatic like mids, great instrument separation and all the instruments and vocals sounded real but I found them just a bit too smooth. I haven't heard the Omegas, stad lore or other Zu speakers(in case this question looks familiar I asked the same question on audiocircle). Thanks.

I agree with Devilboy...with your musical preferences and room size, you would be better off seeking something with more power.

Some of the Update old Altec Lansings would do a good job, that size room, I would think some version of the 604 would do a very good job.

I too found the Sig 15 a little less than dynamic with the stock tube but switching out the tube made a really big difference and now I feel that I have the tone and dynamics. I do agree, however, that I may have painted myself into a corner when it comes to picking out speakers. Having said that as long as I don't turn it up super loud(which I can't as I live in an apt anyway) they sound really good with my Totem rainmakers, much better than the NAD reciever that I had and the Totems are definitely not efficient.

Thanks everyone who is participating. Its great to hear so many points of view.
