Is 45W enough power to drive B&W N805?


I have B&W N805 with Sonic Frontier SFL1. I am looking for a used Tube power amp to drive N805. By budget is $700 - $1300 used. What should I put in my short list? And do I need to consider power rating? Would 45W be enough to run them? My listening is not too big and I do not listen too loud to scare my neighbors... Thanks in advance. Dan

I ran a pair for a while with a Cambridge Audio A3i 50 watt integrated amp. Worked fine at mid or lower volume levels. I think the "official" power range of these speakers is 50 to 200 watts per channel at 8 ohms.
