What speakers work with low wattage class A amps

Hi everyone. I am setting up a system and have been really impressed by some low volume listening I was able to do through a class A amp. Class A amps usually have lower watts in a given price range, and are not as practical for big power. What speakers have sensitivity that would make sense for an amp with 25 Watts or less (eg some of the entry level class A options from Pass Labs)?  Are we limited to horn speakers? The speakers I have are said to require “high current amps”. Is this a factor as well? Thanks for your help.

I would expect anyone who is a dealer to know how to spell and pronounce the name of the speakers they are selling. It is "Borresson". Your misspelling does not instil one with confidence.

@arhgef  For similar reasons I have been trying a Pass Labs INT-25 (our class A) with my Marten Parker Trio (91dB at 6ohm) the last week. The match is good although some more power would fill the speakers more.

WATT/Puppy 5.1 (93dB/W/m) driven with only 2x30W A Class Pioneer M-22. This combo sounds so good. A Class makes this speakers sounding addictive. 👌👍🏻

Here’s my little demo.

@audiotroy The Børresen X3 is designed to really only be used with 300 watt Aavik electronics and Ansuz cables!!! If you put anything on them they will not have synergy.
