Audio Physic Scorpios and SET amps


Has anyone out there tried 10-15W SET amplification with original Audio Physic Scorpio speakers?
What were the results?
Is 92 db efficient enough?
I am thinking about trying it.
Any helpful hints? Brands of amps?
I am on a tight budget so I have to be real about my choices.

Martin Colloms tested these in the Nov/Dec issue of HIFICRITIC. He said that they did not require a large amp. 30 watts into 4 ohms worked well. This despite the actual sensitivity being 89.5 rather than the 91 claimed over there. " In an unlikely partnership with the English Proteus tube integrated amp [20 watts] , I heard it driving a really large exhibition room to astonishing levels." It was a vary favorable review and it remains on the magazines list of recommended components. This was a 3 and a half way speaker weighing 60 lb.; I assume it was the one you have, I don't know the different versions.
