Regarding the Reference 3A MM de Capo, measurements of the BE version of that speaker performed by the National Research Council of Canada, as published by SoundStageNetwork.com, show a sensitivity of only 86.7 db.

Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers
Interested in trying lower watt tube SET or class A amps. After hearing about the 'magic' for years I feel it's about time I give it a listen. But, don't think my current speakers are efficient enough (please correct me if I'm wrong about this). I have Snell Type D at around 87 dB and Gallo 3.1 at around 88. Not exactly inefficient but could be better. I have used my Jolida 502 brc (60 watt) with the Snells and it sounds great. About to try the Jolida with the newer Gallos. I have read that they work well with tubes, eager to find out.
Looking for suggestions for efficient speakers under $2k. I know most horns qualify but, unfortunately, I have never been a big fan of the Klipsch sound. Of course there are other brands to check out.
I am in the process of researching amps right now. Seems like there are a few nice options in my lower price range. If you want to throw a few amp suggestions out there too that's great.
Thanks!
