When reading about your Integrated Amp' and all the good reports being made available, I think your wanting Speaker recommendations is not entirely aligned to your needs.

Synergy is everything, learning which Speakers have been able to show off the Amp' as a most impressive performer is a much sure footed inquiry to get to the place one is wanting to experience.

Additionally, the Amp' does offer a 8 Ohm and 4 Ohm interface with a Speaker, and even though not too imposing as a option, can be the deciding point on how the Amp' is finally set up to be used with a Speaker.

Note: The Canton can work as a 4 Ohm interface? 

Don't overlook the Amp's Input Valves either, there is a lot that can be done with such Valve types to help scape the End Sound. It does look like Tube Rolling is a area of ownership that will be beneficial if commenced to be learnt what might be achievable for the End Sound that can be created. It is too good to dismiss.

The Speaker producer is very likely to have knowledge of Speakers at certain price points that have excelled with their designs, this is a good place to inquire.  

1) Don't dismiss used out of hand, you can get a great deal on used and people who buy expensive speakers generally take care of them.  I got killer deal on used speakers (think 80% off list) especially at dealers who don't sell a brand but take them on trade-in for good customer

2) Every speaker is enhanced with a sub, even a small sub.  But it sounds like this is a wife-acceptance thing. If you primarily listen to  classical music or even jazz from the 50's & 60's, they're probably less important.

Realistically, your Cronus Magnum Probably only puts out 10, 15, 20 watts per channel at best over the range of human hearing and still maintain a maximum distortion level below 1% to 3%. Don't believe the 100 watts per channel hype. That's just the way it is with tube amps. It still will easily drive many of the moderately efficient speakers out there.

As @celtic66 suggested the ATC SCM40, a bit out of your price range though but deals can be had if you can find a retailer that carries them. They are wonderfully made mostly by hand except for the enclosures which are outsourced from a local vendor. The drivers have enormous magnet structures with underslung voice coils and all their parts are meticulously fabricated and assemble by hand. 

Since it's a sealed enclosure the bass roll off is relatively slow and will still have prodigious output below it's -6dB 48Hz specification. In addition, it will present a fairly benign load to your tube amp because that tends to be the nature of acoustic suspension speakers. Something to consider.

As others have mentioned, ProAcs, Revels, Dynaudios, which tend to be on the brighter side and Klipsch's though incredibly efficient are not necessary unless you're into headbanging or something. I think the Wharfedales, MoFi, and Sonus Faber are good recommendations and worth seeking out. You may even find a speaker among their lines well below your maximum of $5000.

Fischer & Fischer SN170's. A tad more than $5k at $7700 but worth looking in to and saving up for. The slate makes it the best choice. .

The SN 70's are really good too. $5500.
