Tacmc5,
Do you have corners? If so, my first recommendation would be the Classic Audio Reproductions Hartsfields. They're about 107 dB efficient I believe, and can handle a couple hundred watts. They aren't the ultimate in low coloration or pinpoint imaging, but if you can keep your toes from tapping or your butt from shakin' while they're playing then you must have earplugs in. Good ones. Super-glued in. Seriously, the C.A.R. Hartsfields are an extremely enjoyable speaker to listen to, even if they don't do all the audiophile tricks. They are very hard to tear yourself away from.
Now in a less expensive alternative, once again if you have corners, Klipschorns are a possibility. They top out around 120 dB.
If you don't have corners, Classic Audio Reproductions still is a great place to look with their T-1 and T-3, and from time to time they have a special going on with something that ought to work in your situation. Edgarhorn is another possibility, again they can go into the mid-120's pretty easily.
Just curious, what price ballpark would be realistic?
