Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes.

I am interest in spending between $3-$3.5K.  I listen to rock and jazz via vinyl (Music Hall mmf5.1 with a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+) or digital streaming music library or Tidal via a W4S moded Sonos Connect thru a Schiit Audio Gungnir DAC.  My room is 17' x 24', but I listen close up - 10' from the speakers.  I have been considering Golden Ear Triton 2+ speakers.

Based on these videos Ryans don't sound good to me, though they do have a certain musicality to them. No resolution dynamics or real bass. Just your average speakers, not bad.

I used to have Rogue Audio 180 magnum monoblocks with KT120s powering Maggie 3.6R's. One of the most complete sounds I've ever heard. 

I moved up to an ARC VS-110 which made the Maggies sing even better. 

So id recommend Maggie 3.7's. Or the Vandersteens.

Triangles also work well with good tube power.
