Easy to drive speakers have a reputation and get discussed

And as rules of thumb or starting points for research the comments here tend to be decent enough. You should be able to search in Speakers for "easy" and "load" or "drive."

I would start with:

Devore, Reynaud, Coincident, although many of their models tend to cost more than 2Ce.

Then I might think of the $1500 or so Revel floorstander or the PSB Imagine T floorstander.

I might also look at the soon to be discontinued (?) Martin Logan Source.

All these options even close to $2000 give up a little on the low end compared to the 2Ce, although the Revel would be closest.

In general if you get the sensitivity addressed, and the min. impedance appropriate for the taps, then your CJ should be adequate to handle any difficulty in speaker reactance, imo. Unlike some budget tube products, which can struggle in such cases.
