High Efficiency Wall Mount Speakers and 300B

I am currently using a pair of Audio Note ANK/L speakers which are a 2 way bookshelf design with an 8" woofer and the usual dome tweeter. Very nice speakers but rather large for my required wall mount application. They never fail to draw a negative comment from The Wife; pity. So, I am looking for some smaller speakers of similar quality that will work correctly with a single ended 300B tube amplifier that makes the usual 8 watts.

I know wall mounting is not optimal; few things in life are. I was thinking of LS3/5A but my recollection is that they like a fair amount of power to sing as do most small speakers.

Keep the 300B, forget the LS3/5A as T notes. Again as he suggests, a single-driver would be a good idea. Maybe something like a cornu is the ticket. Apparently it can be hung against the wall! Usefully, the waf should be better...:)
Caveat: never heard this design.

Benny from diyparadiso (.com), a knowledgeable diyer/ component dealer has, and offers some comments on his site. FWIW!
