Driving SF Extrema with one BAT VK-60 ?

One of my friend has successfully drive the Extrema with 300b push-pull tube amp. So, I'm thinking about getting a tube amp, BAT VK-60, to drive my SF Extrema even it's not using 300b. Is it a good or bad idea? Would you suggest any 300b amp that would be a good match to the Extrema?

Here is my existing equipments:
- BAT VK-D5SE CD Player
- BAT VK-5i Preamp (w/ amperex 6DJ8)
- Jeff Rowland Model 5 (150 w/ch)

I usually listen to: main-stream Jazz, smooth Jazz, classical

I'll have to 2nd tireguy's opinion. I have one VK60 driving Wilson Watt 6's. Most everyone says this is a very difficult load. Impedance is 4 ohms and dips lower than that at certain freq's.

I'll take more one day, either a 2nd vk60 or the new vk75se, but it's been great for the last year. The VK60 can drive more than you think.
