Opinions on efficient bookshelf speakers 95db?

I'm interested in people's opinions about efficient bookshelf speakers. My application will be as room fillers along with full range floor standers or in a small room as stereo speakers. So the need for them to go deep in the low end isn't as critical. I'll be driving with a low watt tube amp, which is why I'm interested in high sensitivity speakers. Here are a few I'm considering.

Tekton Lore Surrounds, Mini Lore Surrounds , or Enzo Surrounds
Zu Cube or Omen Bookshelf
JTR Single 8HT or 8HT-LP
Omega Hoyt Bedford Type I
Decware DM945 or DM946

Others?

"... very easy to drive due to lack of complex xover."

Actually it is the impedance curve (both phase and magnitude) that the amplifier sees and interacts with; the amplifier has no idea how "complex" the crossover is, nor does it care. Intuitively we would think that a complex-looking crossover presents a more difficult load than a simple-looking one, but we really don't know without seeing the impedance curves.
