Efficient Bookshelfs on a budget?

I have just bought a panny 42" plasma and need some speakers to go with it. The problem is that I just spent 4k on the TV and don�t want to YET spend big $ on the complete audio system. The panny has a 7.5watt output and I would love to just run some bookshelf speakers directly off of that. The volume in the room will be very moderate but the room is pretty big and opens into another room so if there are any moderate or high efficiency speakers that anybody can suggest with a good sound please help me out.

Thanks

And I'll chime in with the Athena Technologies, with sensitivity ratings of 91 db to 94 db, depending on size. I used to run them from the 8-watt Wave 8s, and they just screamed. Quite revealing though, so I can't vouch for the ultimate effect with your television as a source. For a review/description, go to http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/athena_asb1.htm.

I like the name "Iamcrazy", most people are, the difference is they do not know it.
As for speaker, I like the 303.

Sound Dynamics 300ti. No longer manufactured, will have to find it used. A great performer!

7.5 watts in a very large room is not enough to drive these speakers mentioned above . I recommend Acoustic energy Aego 2. It is self powered and can be wall mounted and will look awesome with your plasma.

Just double check @ what OHM rating that 7.5 watts is... a lot of TV based amps output their watts @ 16 or 32 ohms. That would greatly affect your speaker selection.
