2A3 Set power amp

Kind of a newbie with tube power amps so humor me. How will a Single Ended Triode amp with tubes being 2A3,6F5 and GZ34 sound with speakers that are rated 88-89dB? The Amp is rated at 10 Watts. Thanks for your help.

I don't agree that you need 97-100db efficient speakers. A friend of mine is currently using my 8 WPC 300B amps on 90 db efficient 6 Ohm Green Mountain Audio speakers. He thinks it is excellent so there is hope. Obviously that experiment is based on a different amp and tube. I use them on 92 db efficient speakers that are 14 ohms. However 88 db for a 10 wpc push pull 2A3 seems like a gamble.

Mmike84, have you tried your 300B amp on a 100 dBor greater sensitivity speakers? If so, which one? Amandarae- No I have not. Not yet anyway. The 300b Amp and the speakers were made by the same company though so you'd think they would pair well and they seem to. I'm still scouting for a 96-100db speaker currently.
