which $1k used floorstanders for 35wpc tubes?

Thanks for looking! I need some speaker recommendations. I've got a 35 WPC tube amp (that I love) and my NHT VT-2s are underpowered by it, as well as not a very sensitive speaker.

I'd like to get a set of floor standing speakers for around $1k used (at most). My room is 15x20. I listen within 10 feet. I listen to every genre but am most picky about how my classical recordings sound. After the very-heavy NHT speakers, I think I'm really sensitive to cabinet resonance (I returned a pair of Klipsches for this reason)

There is so much to choose from on this site, and $1,000 is A LOT to gamble with! Help!

JBL L100 might as well be as floor stander with minimal elevation if necessary at all.

Tekton lore is high efficiency and in that range.

Zu Audio used, would be a nice combo with your amp.

I would recommend the Focal 917 Profile. Very nice speaker that's easy to drive. 91db efficient.

If you can find used coincident conquest, triumph even partial eclipse. They were made for that. Also, Soliloquy used to be very tube friendly. There's a bunch on usaudiomart.
