I think you're overcomplicated this process. Listen to the music and choose what sounds right "to you". I personally own Tekton Moab's. High efficiency (98 dB), marvelous low end extension (no sub required) as well as what I would characterize as "makes me tingle all over" mid-range and high frequencies. No, they are not perfect, but then, in all honesty, nothing out there really is. It's all still very personal.
