High Efficiency Options?
I use Ref 3A de Capos 92db with a 4 watt Decware mini torii not overly loud but good enough in a 12x22 room open on the side I also use a Klipsch Quartet with a 6 watt Grommes PHI-26, they are big but sound very live    
Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp?
MHDT Tube R2R Dac sweet sound  
Bookshelf speakers - Paradigm, KEF, Totem
Check out the Ref 3A de Capos  i used them with my Primaluna PL2 for years now with a 4 watt Decware amp.  Sweet detailed  good bass for monitors/standmounts   if you dont like the new finish  then used with the wood veneer is very nice
