300B for LS3/5A?

I would like to ask LS3/5A owners, has anyone tried using 8 watts 300b amp to drive the 11 ohms Rogers ls3/5A which has only 82db sensitivity!

Just my humble opinion.

If you have a small to medium listening room,300B amp would have no problems. Bass control and dynamics will not be comparable to a good SS amp,however you will have all the midrange magic of LS3/5A's. As Mcfarland mentioned above,with 300B you won't be able to go very loud. All this IMHO.
