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?

obert,

I picked up a pair of used Klipsch RB-75's last summer and I could not be more pleased. Real wood veneer, 1.75 inch horn titanium compression tweeter, 8 inch woofer. Very efficient at 97dB and spec'd at 42Hz extension at -3dB. I am driving my pair with a Yamaha A-S1000(90w/ch) integrated amp but have heard others that have experienced great results with low wattage tube amps. Expect prices to range from around 500.00 to $600.00 on the used market. These 20 inch tall 32 LBS "bookshelf" speakers scream with volume but excel also with delicate musical pieces.
