Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000?

I'm looking for speaker recommendations that play down to 30Hz. Able to be fully driven without compromise by tube amplification with as little as 15wpc.

$3000 new or used.

16x19 room. Rock, jazz and classical.

Reasonably small footprint (Klipsch K-Horns and LaScalas are too large).

I have eliminated Zu Druid and Tones from contention. All other options are open.

Thanks in advance.

This may be crazy but why not go to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest so you can listen to all those speakers mentioned about and many many more. Oct 19th 20th. 21st. Air from the west cost as little as $140 round trip hotels as little as $75 a night and shuttle from airport to hotel/show $20. Saves a lot of money/headaches in mistakes.

The answer is simple. But the Cain & Cain Abby's and the Bailey subwoofer. This system will honestly sound better than many/most 10$ speakers, 15watts is plenty, soundstage is huge, more resolution and warmth than the Druids, much better tonal quality's then Coincident plus tighter and easier to manage bass. I much prefer this sound to the Merlin VSM's. If you look on the virtual systems you will see a number of Abby's.
