ATC SCM 40 v 2 and tube amplifiers


Hi,
Has anyone had experience driving the ATC SCM 40 ( passive version) with a tube amplifier of modest power ?
If so how did it go; and or how much power do they really need?
I am driving a set of 86 db spenders with 32 watts with great results; better than you would expect.
Thanks

I have, driven by Canary Audio 330s (monoblocks 25-30W / channel). The result was underwhelmingly syrupy, lacked dynamics and low-end and sounded limited in the high frequencies.
That said, the Canary amps are great products, and so are the 40SCM (I like these spkrs); together they just didn't gel...
