Over there a 92dB/SPL speaker is referred to as a toy.Your most economical choices for high-efficiency (96dB and higher SPL/watt) are either vintage Klipsch or Altec, Fostex kits from Madisound amongst others, and both finished speakers and kits by Pi Speakers.
Stay away from pro-sound speakers for the home; inexpensive models don't sound good, and those that have hi-fi specs aren't cheap.
As for high end $2k plus 'audiophile' speakers, very few are high SPL. Most are just high hype.
