I have two of the Infinity OWS (on the wall speakers) mounted for my surround backs on my walls, they vary in price from $200-$300, but the efficiency is 90 dB and they are rated to 125Watts. I have cranked these and sans the bass, they put out for their size.

Years back a did a Home Theatre install room in for my school TV lounge room and I used some Celestion bookshelfs mounted up near the ceiling and pointed down towards the audience. The speakers at the time were 100W, 94dB and driven with a 100W Onkyo receiver. Complemented by a sub, these speakers delivered a lot of sound for the room, but they were like $1000 for four at the time if I remember.

The infinities OWS's are sold at Circuit City, so you can test them out, or find them at Crutchfield. http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-rbF...a=0&cc=01&avf=N
