Sonus Faber Auditor with 20 tube watts?

The auditors aren't super efficient (88db) and they have a lowish impedence (4 ohm). I've got a Primaluna Dialogue 1 integrated and prefer triode mode which is something like 18 watts. Fortunately I have a small room so volume has never been a problem with my current Paradigm Signature S2s.

Will the Sonus Faber's be a sufficient match? Does anyone have experience with lower output tube amps and this speaker? Will the load be too difficult?

I own a pair of the Guarneri's and I have a very small dedicated room... 10'X11' with a 15' vault ceiling.
I drive the G's with a Rowland model 8 which is a ss amp and puts out 250 watts per ch.
The G's are quite power hungry and even in this small room,
the amp has to work to drive them. Albeit not terribly hard,
;0)
