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.

I always thought efficiency and sensitivity were different.  And they are!

That's the technical explanation for why Krissy magic works especially well inside speakers. So much energy is wasted that if you improve electrical efficiency even a tiny little bit it results in big gains releasing tremendous dynamics and incredible inner detail.

Has anyone compared the drivers on the Tektons vs. the Salks mentioned here? Above and beyond design, how do the parts compare?

@b_limo  Hey where is the Salk Veracity speakers for sale ad? Thought you listed them... 

Was looking to send the link to a buddy to buy them from you and put them with a pair of his really good tube mono amps.
