40 watt tube integrated enough for vandy 2's?


does the jolida 202 have enough power to match the low sensitivity of the 2ce's? Does the fact that it is a tube amp give it somewhat of an upper hand when it comes to it's numerical shortcommings in terms of power? I want tube, but don't want to spend more than 600-700 (for used). Is the 303 (50wpc...i think) a better way to go?

Rose--
From personal experience, my set-up years ago was 2ci w/ the
ARC Classic 30~Classic 60 The 30 ran hot,hot,hot and the
volume knob on my ARC LS2B MkII was at 11-12:00o'clock, too
high for my liking (my room was about 17x20ft) at normal
listening levels. With the Classic 60, music just flowed.
I'm not too familiar with jolida amps and their respective
power ratings, however, I would suggest you go with minimum
50 tube watts or 40 watts s/s...Great speakers at a great $
