Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

High efficiency loudspeaker options

Is there a list of high efficiency speaker options? Also, not a lot of dealers carry them: are there dealers in the US who carry a selection or that carry specific brands that are worth researching?

For years I've had a Resolution Audio Cantata system - 50 watts - with Harbeth P3ESR speakers. It's good, but I've come to realize Harbeths need more power to come alive, even at lower volumes sometimes. I'm curious to experiment with a higher efficiency speaker with the RA Cantata. This is also driven by an interest in doing something different; change for change sake.

I'm particularly curious about single driver loudspeakers but I'm open to anything.

For now, I'd love to understand the landscape of higher efficiency speakers, but I would also appreciate specific recommendations. I listen to a lot of acoustic guitar music but I also listen to a lot of electronic space/ambient music. My room is about 12x15 feet and well dampened. I often listen at lower volumes while working, but at higher volumes at other times (rarely loud).

Thanks.
