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 use my ATC SCM40 v 2s with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium with KT120 tubes (also swap in KT88 and EL84 sometimes). In triode I doubt any bust past 35 watts but it works great in my setup. I do have a mediumish  to smallish room and never listen much past 90 dB so mileage may vary. To me the Primaluna just makes the ATCs a little rounder vs my Hegel H160 used during most of the weekdays.
