Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed?

Only reason I ask is because it will be pushing Salk Veracity Ht2-TL’s...  Im coming off a Belles Aria, which was fantastic, but wanted to try something different.  My concern is the low wattage of the Raven and low sensitivity of the salks, but my Belles 75 watts sounded better than 3 other nice 225 watt integrateds.  
So, anyone with experience with the Raven Blackhawk LE pushing somewhat low sensitivity speakers chime in and let me know.

What is the lowest impedance point of your speakers? 

Millercarbon is wrong the Raven 20 watts is not equal to 50 to 100 watts of S.S. power. He just cant recognize when he is clipping his tube amp. 

Looked at the Raven website. A tube manufacturer that makes 4 ohm impedance speakers? Stupid! Supposed to be very good gear however.

A tube amp will soft clip so as long as you don’t need things too loud it should be fine.
