The revel F30 is rated at 87db sensitivity, which really does not require 100watt tube amplifier.
I drive 88db sensitivity speakers to very high volume levels with a 12wpc Audionote tube amp. I listen to a wide variety of music including rock and orchestral. I drove the very same speaker with both a V12i and Sli80. The V12i could literally blow the doors down, and its power is of no use unless you want to have a dance party for the hard of hearing. I also ran these speakers on a 22wpc 6C33 set amplifier with great results.
However, none of the above produce the bass my Audionote does. I think a well speced amplifier rated at about 22-35wpc should be more than adequate.
