Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?

Hey Guys,
Wondering about speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated.
Using KT150 and Mullard CV4003. So maybe 50 watts in triode and 100 watts in ultralinear.
Don't like ultralinear much. (GeorgeHiFi linked some curves showing ringing in ultralinear:
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/primaluna-dialogue-premium-hp-tube-rolling-suggestions-to-red...)
Setup is in a small room currently. Had used Revel F206 (which I still have) and now Zu Druid MK IV.
Revels sound pretty good but I don't think they show their best with limited tube power.
Plenty of power for the Druid, and it sounds pretty good but response curve seems uneven to me.
So Revel nice response curve but a little tame. Druid pretty lively/ fun but uneven tonal balance.
Anyone have a particular favorite speaker match up for that amp in the $3K-$5K range?

George lets get this right. What are the graphs for the integrated amps? Thanks

Which link is for the Integrated Amp?
You know that we are not talking about the Power Amp on this thread?

4 ohm tap sounds better to me in my system as well.
I use triode mode for certain styles of music(acoustic guitar, vocal oriented) and UL for other (more complex).
Personally I don’t go by graphs, I go by what my ears tell me. For me the stock Chinese tubes in the center slots were my issue with my amp. (Dialogue Premium Integrated)
Most importantly I am glad your enjoying what you hear now.
