Will Push-Pull Triode amp 20-25 WPC work?


I own a second generation pair of Allison 4 speakers, (2002) which are pristine. The room is 12 X 12, quiet to moderate sound levels, mostly classical, occasional jazz, Speaker sensitivity 87 db, 8 ohms. Can I get away with a triode amp (that I really want), like a 300B, putting out 22-25 WPC? And no, I dont want to change the speakers for 100 db sensitive ones, as I know I should, as these speakers work perfectly in the room, in my office, against the front wall, and are probably the best speakers Roy Allison made.

Thanks Springbok10. Why don't you try your 30 wpc Thor amps upstairs? Then you will know for sure.
Different location - office at work - but you are correct- it occurred to me to do that, although I believe the Thor is very conservatively rated.......
Denis- For moderate levels, I found that a 9wpc SET 300b amp drove my 89 db Merlins just fine in a 14 x 23 x 8 room. You should be fine.
I had a similar experience to Swampwalker's. I used Merlin VSMs with Cary 300B SET mono amps (optimistically rated at 15 wpc, IIRC) in a 14x24x7.5 room. Very dynamic sounding at reasonably highish SPL (for acoustic music). However, the Merlins have a friendly impedance curve and I'm unfamiliar with the Allison.

Anyway, one more data point FWIW.
