proac tab. 50's w/ low powered tube amp?

I currently have a norh se-9 low powered (9 watts) tube amplifier (EH EL34 output tubes) hooked up to a pair of Tannoy MX2 monitors. I am considering getting a pair of ProAc Tablette 50s and need some help. The thing I don't like about the Tannoys are they are a little too laid back sounding... maybe too musical. I want a little more crisp and better imaging speaker. Also I want to make sure that the ProAcs are efficient enought for my little amp to drive.

Mostly listen to light jazz vocals, classical chamber music, and your occasional rock/pop CDs. Fairly small room, about 12x16. Also considering high-efficiency Omega TS3 or Norh 3.0 single driver speakers. Any experience/suggestions for speakers with this type of setup?

thanks.

Hi Gunbei,

Thanks for the response. I've decided to pass on the ProAcs, mostly because of the sensitivity rating. I'm hoping to come across a used pair of Omega TS3 speakers which are single-driver 94db speakers that are supposed to be extremely low-power tube-friendly.

My brother is coming into town this week, so I'm sure we'll have plenty of late-night analysis and discussion around what to do next on my system.
