High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k

Soliciting recommendations for high efficiency monitors that would work well paired with a relatively low-powered (22wpc) SET amp (Line Magnetic LM-218ia) in a small listening room. Budget is modest, around $2,500 and potentially stretching to $3,000 - thinking I'll be looking at pre-owned. Listen mostly to chamber music and jazz, not really worried about reproducing large scale orchestral music or rock.

Thanks for your thoughts!

If you listen to chamber music and jazz in a small room why do you think you need high efficiency speakers? I think a LS3/5A sealed two way design would be nice with your amp. Harbeth, Spendor, Stirling, Falcon, etc. make real nice ones.
Do you want it any louder than this?
