Best Efficient versatile Speaker reaching 30Hz?

When it comes to speakers, I believe efficiency is key. However, there are two drawbacks on efficiency:

- lack of low frequency --> They hardly ever reach below 30Hz
- lack of versatility --> They tend to play better accoustic and classical music than rock, for example

My question: What is in your opinion the best efficient speaker (I guess 93db into 6-8 Ohms is efficient enough) that reaches below 30 Hz and can play all types of music?

Silverline Sonata II or III (95db, 25Hz)
Soliloquy 6.3 (90db, 28Hz)
Coincident are also said to be quite good.
Reimer too has speakers to fit the bill.
Other option: add a sub. Our ACI Titan blends seamlessly with our 53Hz Klipsch La Scala horns. I've had three people ask me, "Do you only use the sub selectively?" when it was on.
I've owned both the Silverline's & Solilquy's, and find
them both to be highly musical, non-fatiguing speakers
that completely disappear in the room. On the used market, they are a steal!
Best of luck,

On the used market:
Silverline Sonata II ~$2600
Soliloquy 6.3 ~$1500
Soliloquy 6.5 (22Hz) ~$3300
Bargains all, IMO. And they mate well with virtually any amp. That is, if you like the amp, you will like the sound. The speakers are that neutral sounding.
