25 Watt Tube Amp for 90db Speakers?



They are Snell type J's that are 8ohm and 90db efficient.
Is a 25 watt tube amp enough? I am looking at a Cary Audio Super Amp. Thanks for any info.....

Al, just told it like it is.
People say, for instance. you can drive Maggies with 50 watts.Yes, sound will come out, but if you want Classical crescendo fidelity, about 500 watts @4 ohms will be required. At least for the 5 pairs I've owned .
