Best Small Efficient Speaker for Office or Sm Room

I'm thinking of putting together a simple system for an office. A nice receiver or intergrated amp with tuner and CD player with small speakers placed on office furniture or speaker stands. I'm looking for a speaker that sounds good with very low power (25-40wpc) and at low listening levels. Another important part of the puzzle is that I don't want to spend more than $250 per pair used. Looking for some good feedback here. I'm open to any suggestions.

B&W DM302 are 91dB. No longer made, but mint used pairs very easy to get here and on eBay. Also a great sounding small speaker for very little $$$$ ($150 to $180 used). The cheapest speaker to have a Stereophile recommendation; an Editors Choice Award and Budget Speaker of the Year Award.

I use a pair of B&W DM302 in my office with a Creek 4330R (40 watts). See my systems link.

I think they would also be fine for a small amp in an office, but just to let you know that the later mentioned B&W DM303 which replaced the DM302 is not as efficient (88dB).
