  Best speakers for tube amp looking for suggestions
I have gone through to many speakers in search of the live sound. I am after stand mount speakers for vocals, jazz, small groups. I listen at night kids are in bed so low volume.Tube Passion integrated amp 30watts, Sony SACD 555es, Nordost cables. 18x24 opens to another 25 with 24 foot ceiling in the 18x24. I finally got tubes figured out but went through to many speakers thinking it was a speaker problem. Now the only speakers I have left are some old Heybrooks and they sound great but not sure if it is the tube set up or the speakers can't imagine they are the speakers but this is the best sound I have gotten. Winged C el34 quad and RCA clear tops 12au7 quad. Went through Abby's mid good for female males nasally, Reference 3A Royal Masters just didn't work for the room straight firing into a wood stove 12 feet out angled in and they lost the sound stage, Proac's to precise not musical Sequerra's to piont source not open like live music to positional and not filled out ?........ since the Heybrooks sound so good is this telling me Spendors or the like or Totem Signature One's since I don't play loudly any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for the suggestions the audiokinesis look great and a good choice though out of my price range. I am leaning towards the spendors and harbeths as I think I am looking for the interaction of the cabinet and the speakers as a cello strings with the body of the cello.
