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!

The Vandersteen 1CI feature a sophisticated box less approach.
Their low diffraction multi enclosure driver mounting system should work for you, add to that phase and time aligned drivers and are an easy drive with low to Med power tube amps.
I use Quicksilver 25 WPC Mono Blocks with superb results Johnny Cash's voice sounds genuine,like it should, Beethoven flows with dimensionality,and takes string tone where box speakers don't go.
The speaker is well respected and owned by many top electronic manufactures.
I would read the 1CIs owners manual just to get an idea
of what their about.

Monitor Audio Silver Series. RX6's can be had for well under a thousand used. RX8's might suit your room and music tastes better.

It would be less of a gamble if you actually told us the name and model of your "35 wpc tube amp".

Also, since your amp and speakers are so mismatched, how do you know that you really love your amp? The NHTs are not bringing out the best of your amp and your amp is not truly showing what the NHTs do best.
