speaker recommendation for 35watt tube mono blocks

I'm looking for a fun exciting speaker that will sing at any level. $1k-$3k    I'm demoing the original Klipsch Forte with Forte II mid/treble drivers and rebuilt crossover paired with old RCA amps. They're a lot of fun to blast and fill the house.  I miss however definition and detail in the imaging when sitting in the sweet spot.  It's a softer focus.  Is the Forte III also like this?    
Zu has caught my attention. 
Others?

I have a pair of Primaluna Dialogue 7 monoblocks. They drive two Tannoy Revolution XT8F speakers. They sound great! I research everything to death and chose the Tannoys. $2,700.00 for the pair. They love the tube amps.

Bob Crites Cornscala. Under $2000.  Horn midrange and tweeter. Very efficient.

I would check out the Sapphire 3's.  They are at the top of my wishlist.

I had 16 pairs of mini monitors home for a listen and then Vandersteen 1Cis, listening to Johnny Cash"s voice was so obvious and right in front of me with better real bass extension and feel making the choice easy.
Their easy load for a tube amp, 90 DB transmission line, nonbox design, great drivers, from a 40 year plus company, add Made in USA with unrivaled support to all owners from the beginning makes this a winner.
