I'll just throw out another favorite that I heard recently, the Cessaro horn speakers. I've always used the term effortless, but these speakers redefined that term for me. My logical self melted away and I wasn't listening to frequencies or extension or stage, just awesome music. They were out of budget but I didn't care about that either. Dream speaker for me.
Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver
I'm on the hunt for a sensitive speakers to play really nicely with my Quicksilver Mono 60 amps. I've heard some nice Spatial X3's here in Denver thanks to a local audiophile. I was especially taken by their AMT tweeters.
If you're in the Denver area and have Devore, Audio Note, Zu, Tekton, or any other speaker which has really worked well for your tube amps, please DM me. I would be deeply grateful for even an hour of listening time. Thank you!

@jjss49 Awaken the beast? On this nice thread? No! The question comes from a place of naiveté. The proposals of some of these lovely horn speakers seem like a very interesting alternative, given the OP's parameters. As many would agree, there is no perfect speaker. So, if one gives up a certain kind of speaker for another kind, they have either found the perfect speaker (congrats) or they made a trade off for some benefit. So, assuming that the trade for a horn was from a speaker already well matched, power-wise with their amp, what did the horn get them? Was there a room synergy that is now possible? Is there something else they accomplished? And -- for those who lost something with the horn and are willing to discuss it -- what did they give up? And why is the horn better despite the new (more minor) deficiencies?
