Abhi,
from my experience it is not correct to think that just because a speaker is of high(er) efficiency that a low(er) power amplifier will do the job.
I have a Tannoy studio monitor that is 94dB SPL/W/m & I use it with a 120W/ch class-AB amp with very good effect. This studio monitor is, well..........., used in studios where the power amplifiers are of 100s of watts & often even 1000s of watts. The max wattage handling capacity of my speakers is 350W/speaker even tho' it's rated a 94dB SPL/W/m. To me this in itself is a huge hint from Tannoy to me that my speaker will do very well with a high power amp despite its high efficiency.
A higher power amp with a Tannoy will give you more control over the music & a lot more dynamic headroom. You music will sound alive as there will be plenty of wattage on-tap for dynamics.
I would try to find an excellent 100W/ch power amp for this Turnberry SE speaker. Maybe Pass' own offerings or some well regarded 100W tube amp.....
I tend to agree with Chayro - NAIM gear seems to sounds its very best with associated NAIM components. The magic falls off the cliff once you put a NAIM component with some other brand. IMHO. YMMV. Have you heard NAIM gear mixed-matched with other non-NAIM gear? If yes, did it have the same magic as with all-NAIM gear?
