Again, high sensitivity drivers are required, and, as others have pointed out, appropriate enclosures/baffling will provide "best results".
I'd suggest giving consideration to 12" coaxials. Personal favorites are the vintage Electrovoice "Wolverine" (their budget line) LT12. This is a 12" woofer (essentially the EV LS12) with a coaxial "whizzer" cone for midrange and a coaxially mounted EV T-35B compression driver/diffraction horn tweeter.
Nice sounding, beautifully made, and not expensive even on eBAY -- not terribly common, but there's usually a pair on there.
These can be put into large-ish vented boxes or used on "open baffles", perhaps with some subwoofer support for bass.
The other EV 12" coaxes (12TRXB and 12TRX) are pretty good, too -- but I really like the LT12 and they're far cheaper (i.e., represent, to my tastes, much better value).
(the mismatched cabinets in front of the Duplexes contain a pair of LT12s in this photo)
all the best,
