Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Suggestions for visually intriguing Hi-Fi mono speaker?

In the upper right in this picture you can see one of my hanging A5s. I use these for music in my shop. They are biamped with marginal EV electronic crossovers and Sonic Impact Super-T amps with about 10W/channel. Using my computer's iTunes or my phone as a front end the pair will easily play clearly over any machine in the shop.



These are very old A5s, with 515b on the bottom and 288b on top with tar-filled 1005 horns.

While I'll agree that a 2A3 is not enough power, you might be ably to get away with a 300B in a small room. You will likely have points with significant compression due to the amp running out of gas though. To really keep them open and alive a good amount of headroom is always a good thing.
