looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp.


Hello all  , happy to be back at this hobby.

Just acquired a Classe Cap 151 ( 150 watts at 8 ohms/ 225 at 4 ohms )

( Panasonic DVD-A ,Harmonic Technology Fantasy speaker wire & HT Truth Link I/C)

Looking a used stand mount speaker to match my amp , low volume listening a must .

This system stay in my 12 ' x 15' 1/2 room.

My budget is limited from $500 but can squeeze up to $800/1000

Here a few that  I like but never audition , so I am depending on your honest advise.

1. Nola boxer 2

2. Von Schweikert VR-1

3. Vienna Haydn Grand

4.open ...??

  A good sounding n musical speaker  can be driven with  my cap 151 & tube integrated amp

 in the near future. I listened below 9' 0 clock or 1/2 from zero , mostly at night time.

I thank you all in advance. pescolar

What have you actually heard that you like? What did you like about them?

Paraneer gave you excellent advise. If keeping both amps, focus on speakers that are good w/the tube integrated which will be lower powered in your price range. 
Still you must go listen to SOME speakers and tell us what you like about SOME. If not, we might as well be telling you what ice cream flavor to buy if you've never tasted chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. BTW, dark chocolate and Nolas are both far superior! 
FWIW tube-friendly monitors like the Totems mentioned, Reference 3A deCapos and small Nola predecessors Alon II (small floorstanders) might be in the conversation. Cheers,
