Here are some guidelines.
An easy 8 or 16 ohm load (pretty flat) if yr amp has the transformer taps.
Efficient VS sensitive? People confuse this all the time. IF you have a smooth > 8 ohn or >16 ohm load and ~ 90db/w/m sensitivity you have a quite efficient spkr.
Given the above and if you have 15-20 watts pc, and listen in the (near or nearly near) field you will be fine, even with Mahler.
IMO speakers that are based on PA drivers are not a good idea if your diet is acoustic music aka Classical!
