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.

Curious how the X200 would compare against a Jadis.

As much as I insist on maintaining my place on the "hateful xx" list, I actually posted the above for you. The pictures of it are beautiful.

I am curious why it has been on US Audio Mart so long w/o selling.
