Smaller, Vintage Altec Lansing Speakers

I know nothing about Altec Lansing speakers, except that many people rave about them and I am interested in exploring this possibility further.

My amplifiers are.

Larry Moore Darling
45 SET monos
2A3 SET monos
300B SET power amp, and
KT66/KT88 Class A Triode wired PP (12W).

I have a small room area 3M x 4M that is in the middle of a much larger room, but I have to sit only 3M from the wall where the speakers are as the rest of the room is divided into a parlor and a dining space.

My Main speakers 8 Ohm/95 dB sensitive) are 2-way (single driver crossed over to a ribbon tweeter) made by Tonian Labs in LA.

I'm looking for a smaller monitor (floor or on stands). Are there any Altec Monitors that would fit into this room/system.

I have seen a number of Santana 879A models (with cabinets) for sale, but information is scant. Prices are around $500. But I have no idea what else is available that would fit my needs.

Am I barking up the wrong tree? I do not listen to bassy music. If a speaker sounds good on both Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suites and Violin Sonatas and Partitas, I would be happy. That is my range.

I just need a push or two in the right direction.
