Recommendations for best most efficient speakers

Perhaps it is a misnomer, but tubes require very efficient speakers. Since I love tube integrateds, I am looking for recommendations on the best, most efficient hi-fi speakers available for someone on a mid-fi budget. I am looking for sensitivity ratings >= 94DB. I have found a few, but they are cost prohibitive.

Thanks in advance for you help..

I am lucky enough to own a pair of H1's on another continent. Would cost 2k to ship here. I've been thinking about doing it because they are such an awesome speaker. Where did you hear them?
