B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier

I cannot find an impedance graph for B & W 801 S3.. The manufacturer states min impedance of 4 ohm and recommends amp of at least 50W. I am wondering if a 60W tube amp such as Conrad Johnson MV 60 or Premier 11A would do the job for mostly low level listening in a small-mid size room. Does anybody have experience with similar combination ? Would ss Conrad Johnson amp be a much better match ?

Parasound Halo JC1's if you can find a deal on a used pair.
The A21 if you can't.

Parasounds IME are very reliable which is probably why they have one of the strongest warranty's, 5 years parts and labor. Of all the brands that I have custom installed, other than possibly McIntosh, they give me the least problems.

PS- It is the Halo line from Parasound that IMO are an excellent match with 801's.
