Any RC55i/RC65i owners out there?

My question is on the efficiency of them. I'm looking at adding them in the g/f's office in the new place but will be running them off a killer 15w/ch amp. The Onkyo NC-500 is the source so there's not a ton of power obviously. I thought about going with a set of 65's but with both of them having the same efficiency, is 15w enough juice to get them up to moderate volume? I'm not looking for a ton of volume, just enough to fill a small 12x10 room with background noise. Ideally, the same amount of volume as say a nice clock radio (we have a Cambridge and it does a great job for the bucks/size). Is it worth it to step to the 65's for the extra punch or is the power not enough to fire it up enough to get a full sound (aka save a few bucks and go with the 55's)?? I sell them at my work but have never really used them off anything other than 100+w of Denon power. Thanks.
