Aleph mini for Epos M5 spkrs

I just purchased a Aleph mini clone and use it with a pair of Mission 750 limited edition spkrs. I had a pair of the ELS-3 that were traded(silly boy)and thought of going back to Epos. My question is will the 4ohm and 88db spec pose a problem. The mini is only 10 watts class A and sounds really good with the Missions(thanks Tim and Quoc). Saw a ad for some M5's and could possibly trade the 750's in. I listen mostly to old school jazz and don't headbang. Thanks for all the info and enjoy the music.

I'm a little late here, but I also own a mini built by Tim and use it with my Totem Arro's.
They are 4ohm, 85 or 87db(can't remember) and sound great with the Aleph.
By coincidence, I also own a bpa200.2(dual mono)
The bpa provides more robust, tighter bass than the Aleph, but otherwise cannot compete against it.
The Aleph is hooked up most of the time.

Thanks for your response Jaybo. I do have the bpa 300 to use but the mini is on a differenht level sonically.

the mini clone is probably a problem with either speaker. both need more power. 25 to 30wpc minimum.
