Can 10W 300B tube amp drive Martin Logan Ascent i?


I currently have the Yaqin MS-300C (or Grant Fidelity A-534) integrated tube amp which outputs about 10 Watts. It currently drives a pair of Tekton Lore speakers (98dB) with easy but I'm thinking about getting a pair of Martin Logan Ascent i so just wondering if this low wattage tube amp can drive it. I listen to jazz and pop at a decently loud level.
Thanks,

Thanks for all the inputs. I guess I'll be keeping the Tekton Lore speakers for a while as I'm so addicted to the sweet sound of the 300B tubes. In fact, I just ordered a pair of Shuguang Treasure 300B-Z tubes for the Yaqin.

for Franz456: I also had the Yaqin MS-20L with Gold Lion KT-88 tubes, wonderful mid but the bass wasn't as round and tight as the MS-300C so I would recommend the MC-300C over. 9.5W SET is just as strong as 50W push-pull so don't let the low-wattage fool you. But again, both was driving the Tekton Lore which are very sensitive (rated 95-98dB).
