What are best speakers for low powered tube amps?

I am moving to tube amps and am looking for recommendations for speakers to use with low powered amps (under 30 watts).
My budget is about $10k.

Worth a look.

They are dynamic speakers built with low powered tubes in mind with a number of models you can find new (and used) at your price point. I would also recommend Silverlines. I have the Sonata 2's which (at 95 db and 8 ohms) are exceptional with low powered tubes and also well within your budget. Go listen. Good luck.

Super detailed speakers. I have owned both, the Definition has 4 powered 10" drivers on the back for the low bass & 2 - 10" & a super tweeter on the front. No Crossovers, just High & Low pass filters on the tweeter & the low bass drivers on the back. Both of these speakrs are great, but the Druid is not full range, it only goes down to 40Hz. The Definition is rated at full range 20Hz to 20KHz.
