This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity?

I am seriously considering putting together a system with power amp(s) that provide, at most 3.5 wpc. The Company behind them does not recommend using them with any speaker with less than 100db sensitivity.

Everything I am aware of is expensive and large to very large. Are there any quality speakers out there that would work effectively in a 12x10 room, and be capable of being driven by that amount of power? I would be happy to buy used, to keep the price affordable. I realize that the situation is not helped by the fact that many manufacturers inflate their claimed sensitivity.

 

Any expertise, recommendations or advice greatly appreciated.

I have a Triode Labs 45 monoblock Set amp putting out the most glorious 4.5 watts I’ve heard into large Joseph Crowe horns (105 db) in room. 
 

while these were being built for me, Troy loaned me a small wide baffle back loaded horn speaker that sounded magnificent in a near to midfield environment; so nice with the set amp that I bought it for my second system after I got the big horns.

look at his website and then call him; he might have something perfect for you.
