Another good small room speaker the comes to mind is the Quad 12L from maybe 20 years ago.
I see a pair for sale here @ A'Gon currently.
I tried them briefly with one of my vintage Pilot PP EL84 amps and also a Musical Fidelity X-A1.
They sounded very nice with both, but better overall with the MF (which is smooth/open sounding SS with 6X+ the power - the Pilot is maybe 10-12 real watts).
There is also an "L2" version for sale here, but I'm not familiar with that model.
