What speaker system for tube amplifier

[alecu7]

Hello,

I'm building a stereo SE KT88 tube amplifier. The output power will be around 10W/channel.
I would like to know what speakers should I use.
I don't want to spend more than $1000/pair.
I have listen to Paradigm speakers and some of them sound very good but also too expensive.
From what I've been reading in the last 6 months or so I come up with several options:

1. 3 way speaker with very high sensitivity (>95dB). They seam a little more expensive than other options.
2. 2 way speaker with med sensitivity (~89dB). This way I'll loose some low frequency. I don't know how important is this.
3. 3 way speaker with active bass. They are big and expensive.
4. How about this idea? 2 way speaker + 10" or 12" subwoofer for each channel. Similar to option 3 but cheaper. I don't mind to have to boxes stuck one on top of the other.

I think with option 4 I get full range and is not too expensive.
The thing is I didn't see this option anywhere so I guess there is something I'm missing because to me this is ideal.
Could you experts tell me what kind of speakers I could buy for each option? And also could you comment on option 4?


Thank you,
Alex
