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.

Best of luck with your new amp. Many members had good intentions regarding advise for you. 

That crossover function sounds interesting, I'm going to look it up.

The Raven sub out gives the option of running the amp full range, or using the filter to trim the bass from the amp at 80Hz or 100Hz. It is a 6dB/octave slope so set at 80Hz the amp is down 6dB at 40Hz which means 1/4 the power at that point. Helluva lotta amp for $3800 https://www.ravenaudio.com/product/blackhawk-mk3/

 Built in crossover in a low power integrated amp tube or otherwise is a very useful feature.  I wonder what other similar amps have that?
