Apogee Centaur Major + cary cad 805AE??

Hi Dear Fellows
I have a pair of Cary Cad 805 AE monoblock amps, they are pure class A 50watts per channel.I would like to ask you if you think they are capable of moving a pair of Apogee Centaurus Major speakers, as they have sensivity @ 3m 83db and a nominal impedance of 3.5-6 ohms.
Any Apogee's owners experience will be highly appreciated!
Cheers!

No way Jose

I had run Apogee Duetta Signature by Krell KSA 150.

You need 200W or more to run Centaur to its full potential.

I am having good result with combination of Line Magnetic 805 48W with Lansche 4.1 (99db/w spec but real eff around 95db/W)

12db difference is 4 times power.
