I am guessing you're looking for a two-way speaker with about a 6" woofer... My research has lead me to believe that smaller speakers are LESS efficient than larger. (In general.) I would look for EPI 70, Boston A40 and my favorite of the genre, the Celestion Ditton 100. If you can fit a cabinet about a third larger than those three I would look for something in the ADS 400 series. (L400, 420, 470 etc.) Probably all those speakers could provide pleasant moderate listening in a small room with 20-25 watts or so. The only speakers around that size that I would consider efficient that I have heard have been a few Klipsch models, specifically the KG2 and KG1.5 They were pretty good, but nothing I needed to keep. The KG1.5 is pretty small, has a heavy well built cabinet, and a vented 6" woofer. Pretty good bass, but the horn tweeter had a narrow "sweet spot".
