Of the high-efficiency single-driver speakers I've heard, the Rethm is my favorite. It's also priced quite a bit lower than some of its competition. The thing that wins me over is it does't have the characteristic "Lowther shout" that most exhibit, due to an ingenious little paper shield-on-a-stick that goes between the main cone and the wizzer cone. Nope, I don't sell 'em... yet.
My headphone amp puts out 1/10 of 1 watt! Anyway, make sure you can audition the Soliloquy before buying. I've heard that some changes have been made since it's introduction and the speaker isn't as easy to drive anymore. You could also try Coincident Tech as they make SET friendly speakers.
You might also consider Avantgarde Unos or Duos (if you have the money), and also Coincident Technology's various models which were designed by Israel Blume to work well with low-powered tube amps.
RH labs Lamhorn, Beauhorn,Loth-x, Lowther America. The single driver 95-100db rear loaded horn speakers are what you are looking for. you can not go wrong with any of the above names.Check out reviews from the Listner on the Lamhorns. Also check out the Cary 2a3 amp which is great.
