Well , if one has a "wood house" its probably best to use regular 91db AN-e. The high efficiency version I would only use in fairly small , concrete built listening rooms. Otherwise you can kiss the Bass good bye. There is simply no free lunch. You either sacrifice size , efficiency or bass. Thankfully the OP has concrete basement so he is good to go with many "small" speakers .
I think hotel rooms used for audio shows have better acoustics than typical American cardboard house. In hotels , floor and ceiling are concrete slabs and commercial code requires thicker drywall/plaster for wall construction.
It's kind of ironic that so much of Euro speaker crap is sold on American market . For the interiors with totally different acoustics than those speakers were designed to work in.
