Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Verdict is still out

You could also try beefier SET amps - then the speakers really don't need to be HE. I am not thrilled with most horns and the ones I like tend to cost sums I can't afford. Plus they're usually giant. The AN J I have is 93db sensitive and I run an 8 watt OTO (4.2 watts undistorted) and I get plenty of volume level - leave the room levels in fact).

But there are less expensive SE amps out there.

An interesting option if you really like speakers that are not too set friendly would be the Sugden A21a - which is solid state but it is a pure class A SET. You can fry an egg on it - it's one of the great SS amplifiers and has been selling since 1967 for a reason.
