I don't know if they'd be too big, but you might want to consider a pair of ESS AMT speakers. In August, I picked up a pair of vintage AMT-1 speakers and have been in Nirvana since... still listening to headphones, but these take up a lot of listening time. I love the AMTs.
I found them for about $300 locally, and they're plenty sensitive for your amp. IIRC, about 96dB, so 5W will be fine. I listen to them about 10' away and they're fine. You can keep volumes low and the AMTs throw out the most amazing soundstage. As for full range, you won't miss a single thing up top.
