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.

Tvad, Funny that Walter's ad for the Soliloquys came up at the same time as my post. Walter has been great to deal with in the past (I got a Jolida amp from him quite a while ago). I had not seen any new Sols for sale in a while but at the (used) prices they seem to be one of the deals out there.

In fact, I just inquired whether Walter has any further Sols speakers in stock.

Enjoy!

He does, but not many.

BTW, the Soliloquy combo will be driven by an Eastern Electric M520 tubed integrated amplifier...

Tvad, let us know how the combo sounds. I've always wondered how the Eastern Electric M520 sounded.

Circumstances changed, and I've decided to forego the monitor/sub combination. I'm going to wait for the right pair of floorstanders.

At least that's the plan tonight...
