The 5.0s are great speakers- I have run them in a room larger than yours with 10wpc. I also had the 6.0s for a while.
They did make a SM-2a3 for 2a3s and 300bs but in all honesty is want that good- it wasnt efficient enough.
A am very big fan of tubes, however- this is one speaker that you could go SS with. It is resolving but also one of the most laid back speakers I have ever heard. Bright is not the word for these. I almost worry that an el34 might be a little buttery for them.
If you really want to get crazy, try a pair or quad of the little Trends TA 10.1s. ($150 ea) I REALLY get excited about that potential pairing- you could even start with a single one at very little cost and then add more if you like.
Sophia Baby is another option- it has a sparkling top end which is really what I think you should be after.
Anything run in class A would be awesome too. The Monarchy's mentioned earlier would probably be really sweet.
However- as crazy as it sounds- I would actually try the trends. Having two on each speaker would be really cool- and I bet the synergy would be incredible.
Run a search if you are not familiar with them.
