Looking for speakers for my 4W SET amp

I'm looking for some speakers with very high sensitivity for my 4W SET amp.  This is for a 2nd system so I'm not looking to break the bank.  I'm looking into Zu Omen Dirty Weekend, Omega Junior XRS or maybe a DIY project with Audio Nirvana or Lowther drivers.  I've never owned single-driver speakers before and I'm a little nervous to take the plunge.  Any thoughts?

thanks!

Omega XRS - I'd be more worried that this may take the place of your main rig. They have an intoxicating sound with proper amplification (set amp).

Get a used pair of Klipsch Heresy's - Mk1 or Mk2! They can often be found on EBay for about $400 - $500 + shipping. Sensitivity of about 99 db! That's where I bought my pair. My SET amp is a Sanei 560A with 2A3 tubes and all Tango iron, made in Japan.3.5 wpc. The Heresy's will KILL any of those single-driver speakers! They are capable of rocking out with just a few watts. Sure, the design is old (1957) but Paul Klipsch got it right!
