High eff. Musical warm bookshelves for a 45 amp?


Hey guys,

I'm considering getting a 45 tube amp with an output of 2W. To pair with them I could really only use bookshelves; this is in a nearfield position @ a computer desk, so that might give me a bit more headroom on sensitivity than usual.

But anyway, I'm wondering if there are any bookshelves with a suitable efficiency that have my sound signature preference: musical, warm, and non-fatiguing. Pretty much what the stereotype of what tube amps sound like (except applied to speakers)

I've been looking around... and honestly I'm having trouble finding any fitting my preferences at any price point it seems. Any suggestions for brands/specific speakers I can look for? My price range is $1k-$5k. Though anything approaching $5k I'd have to buy at a later time period, so ideally around $2-$2.5k, with any higher suggestions put on a wishlist.

You have some great potential with a 45 tube amp. I'd be looking for a single driver based bookshelf. I have used Omega speakers with my small 45 and 2a3 amps and was happy with the results.
