Best speakers under $2000 to match with a SET amp?

Im thinking of Zu's Tone speaker in your room. The Druids may work as well. Tough room demensions to work with, but definately workable. Another speaker could be the Ref 3A MM De Capo i at 92 db. effec.

The Devore Gibbon 8 (and Gibbon Super 8) were designed by a NYC apt. dweller for low power amps with tone being paramount. They've received much praise. Usually, used models go for considerably less than $2K.

THe problem with most speakers is they need to be well out into the room (think 1/3) to breath.

You might look at maggies small wall mounts. I think you can buy them direct with a one years trade up I THINK

I'll 2nd Kehut on the de Capo i recommendation. I used them with my 8w 300b SET with excellent results. You'll be really pleased with their bass response in your size room.

I have had two sets of Cain Abbys. I let one pair go, and the 2nd pair is staying. Using the Abbys with the Cain Bailey fills out the bottom when needed. I use the speaker cable from the amp type of connection with the Bailey instead of line-level.

Sounds great at both soft and loud settings. Plays blues, jazz, country, rock, movie soundtracks, etc.

Much more full (Abby only) than the Horn Shoppe Horns I used a year ago, especially at low volumes.

My room is only 8' wide by 14' long, and I use the regular Fostex driver. I got the 2nd hand setup (Abby/Bailey) for $1,850 including shipping.

Sounds great with push-pull EL84 and single ended EL84. I'm keeping my Sam Kim Audio EL84 push pull amp and retiring from the rat race.

Good Luck!
