Speakers for low power amps?

Hi, I am looking for suggestions for a high efficiency speaker. I am considering going to a low power SET setup. I really know nothing about it but I have always wanted to try out the low power amps. I figured I should start with speakers. What should I look for in speakers, just high DB rating? My room is about 14' x 22'. Where I live I have no stores that carry high end audio, so I will have to travel to hear anything. Any opinions?

Wow. Looks like i found a subject that Twl really likes to talk about : ) Thanks for sharing so much info and background about this design, as it is both interesting and different. I'll have to take a look at the info that El mentioned as being at Madisound to see actual results of something like this. Sean

I took a look at the Lowther site. It doesn't look too hard to build. I have a friend that is in to woodworking so I may try to build them with his help. Twl, I don't have much knowledge about these speakers, how do I chose a driver?

Any of the 8" Lowther models or 8" Fostex models will work in that enclosure.

You can also use smaller diameter drivers, by making a smaller hole for the driver.

I used Lowther EX3 drivers in mine.
