Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room


As the title says, I am looking into the best options for higher sensitivity speakers for a somewhat small room. The room itself is 12.5 feet by 9.5 feet. The speakers would be placed along the 12.5 foot wall. Amplifier power is 8wpc. 

The system will be used for a variety of music, including folk, instrumental, rock, jazz, and singer songwriter offerings. Budget is a max of $3k, used. And a quality subwoofer, chosen specifically for the room, and use with whatever speakers that I choose, is available to employ.  

I already have some ideas, but, clearly, none of us are aware of everything, and, in the higher sensitivity space, things can get a bit tricky. Your experiences, thoughts, recommendations and expertise would be appreciated in terms of outlining all the worthwhile options available. Thanks.

I use Ref 3A de Capos with a 4 watt Decware mini torii in a 22x12 room open on the sides.  plenty loud rich detailed sound. 92db eff. 

Audio Note AN-J Hemp.

They work well against the wall and in corners.  Sensitive and highly dynamic with excellent tone and imaging 

I agree with Grinnell....The Reference 3A de Capos or the floorstanding 2-way Veena. They would thrive in a small room with a good 8-12 watt tube amp, and you probably won't need a subwoofer in such a small room with them.
