A rocking tube amp & speaker combo?

I am currently running a set of George Wright Mono 10's with a WLA12AL Wright preamp. I love the sound, but on heavier, more layered music, the mids & highs sound harsh through my Klipsch La Scala's. Perhaps no big surprise there. So I'm going to set up two systems: one a SET amp-based system run through the La Scala's, and the other for more driving music (Matthew Sweet to Metallica). I think the Mono 10's could work well if mated with a more appropriate speaker. Maybe a Klipsch Forte? Room aesthetics DO play a role. Don't need room shaking bass, just a clean, tight, driving sound. And no offense, but SS just isn't my cup of tea, in case you might have that in mind. Thank you for the suggestions, on either the amp or the speaker options.

Thank you for the responses. Really appreciate it. I'll look into a higher powered amp.

Thank you, Blackwatch26. We actually came up with the perfect solution--bridge two systems through a common preamp & CD player. So now the La Scala's are mated with the Wright 3.5's (love the Mono 10's, by the way), and we are running Quicksilver Mini Mono's through a pair of Soliloquy 6.2's for all of the rocking music. THAT, my wife claims, "Is MY system." We are both quite happy. Thank you for the suggestions.
