BEARD P-100 tube amp

Hello- Would this 100 wpc amp drive Thiel 3.5's to decent SPL (rock) in a 15x20x8 foot room?

I have a very distant memory of a Beard making some nice sounds from a Thiel 3.5. Perhaps it was a different model. Or perhaps more than my memory is distant. Your concern is appropriate.

They are very tube friendly, so long as you have enough (high) power coming from the 4 Ohm tap.
