90db 4 ohm with tubes?

Hi - I'm thinking of upgrading my speakers. On my list of things to check out is the Usher Mini Two Dancer, which is rated at 90db @ 4ohm. My amplifier is a Cary V12R running at 100W in ultra-linear. In theory at least, would this combination work? I've always had the notion that tubes would work best with an 8ohm load, but I though it was worth asking about.

Heard them w VTL ST85.
Good enough. Some cabinet resonance or was it port sound?
Much easier than the 718s
But low mids seem a bit bloated.
Highs are smooth, almost too smooth.

I have the Dyn C1's (85db @ 4 ohm) and have driven them with an Octave V40se - V70se and V110. No problems at all.
