Ideal speakers for Cary SLI-80?

Wondering which pair of speakers make a good match for the character and output level of the Cary SLI-80 integrated amp?

Was considering a pair of Salk Veracity HT1's but have no idea if they're a good match here.

Also FWIW this is the "Signature" model with factory upgraded Jensen oil & copper caps. Tubes are as supplied by Cary.

I intend to run it in triode mode, so only 40 watts per channel. Most speakers I've looked at call for 50+ watts as a minimum in their specs.

Just want to make sure I don't buy something horribly wrong!

That amp has WAY more grunt than you might expect. I owned one for a year or so and loved it. I drove Revel F-30's in triode mode, no problem. Also drove Spendors and Gallo 3.1's with ease.

You'll love that amp.
