I"ve been using Decware amps for 20 years, albeit not with high efficiency speakers. I used the 2 watt per channel amps for a handful of years with 90 db efficiency speakers in a small dedicated room and loved the sound. Then I fell in love with the Radial speakers from Decware and was able to have my system in a larger room and "live with it" rather than have it in a separate room of its own. I moved to the 6 watt amps and then the 25 watt amps. I settled into a pair of HR-1 speakers from Decware and using the Torii Mk III amp got great sound. Recently I moved to powering those speakers with the Taboo Mk IV amp (3 watts) and now the 25th Anniversary version of the SE84UFO3 Monoblocks (2.7 wtts per channel). This is a fantastic combination and I get enough power to drive the speakers to the levels I listen to in my living room.
The best advice here is to somehow manage to audition the speaker and amp combo you wish to have but I know that is not always possible at all. A Decware amp with a speaker it is able to drive comfortably is a wonderful thing. In the future I may try a more efficient speaker such as the Decware DNA horn or the upcoming larger scaled DNA2 horn speakers.
